Yes Liège made barrels, so what .....we can't remake history.
The belgium barrel makers had a good reputation....
End of the controversy and get back to basics: when was this rifle made?
______________________________________________________
The EL enterlaced was in use from Juin 1853 until today ... and is a exportation stamp.
Casimir Lefaucheux died on the 9th of august 1852.
so he did not physically work on this weapon....
These barrels where not approuved in Liège and only made for exportation, because the ELG marking doesn't apprears, neither the inspector stamp...
So my conclusion is: shotgun assembled in the workshops of Lefaucheux at 37 Rue Vivienne with belgium FASSIN made barrels, after June 1853 but before the 29th of November 1865.
JLR is probably the black-smith, working for Fassin who fashioned the barrels
