Patrick, that gun is in fantastic condition if the date is right. What kind of finish are you thinking of for the stock?

Nice looking gun. The safety button is almost identical to my Pieper/Bayard 12 gauge. BillK

Derek, I am pretty sure 1929 is accurate based on the date code and corresponding inspectors stamp. It actually has some nice grain in the stock so I am thinking of a simple Tru-oil finish. A few coats will give me a better idea of how it will look.
BillK, thanks for your post. The cross-bolt looks similar to a Pieper/Bayard, but I was told the receiver does not. I have not had any luck figuring out the maker.

I was looking the other day and was thinking Bayard as well until I noticed the receiver is not right.

Here is a copy of the top of my Bayard receiver with the top lever and the safety button. BillK

Brian, Patrick asked me a while ago if I thought it might be a Pieper/Bayard and I suggested the receiver was all wrong for a Pieper.
Bill, having had more than a couple Piepers, I would be interested in seeing some side and bottom views of that receiver. (Sorry to highjack the thread a bit Patrick).

The A&D Body Action resembles a Lepage Liege( Manufacture d’armes LEPAGE ), which was on & off w/ J. Kaufmann. Gustav Genschow & Cie (Sociéte Anonyme) Berlin(Allemagne) et 527, rue Hayeneux, Herstal, had a Berlin address as well as on in Herstal for sourcing & odd tube steel variants like GECO Stahl, M.G. Stahl, Nickel Stahl, etc. appear: http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/art...%20cie%20fr.htmMight see who else was located @ 527 rue Hayeneux, Herstal & get an idea of the manufacturer. But that spanner type retaining screw on the toplever is seen on Pieper's wears I believe. Cheers, Raimey rse

Raimey, thank you for the information. I will do some more searching.
BillK & Skeetx, it would be great if you could share some more pictures of your Geco & Pieper.
James, always appreciate your help & more pictures might help. Would be great if you can share pictures of your Piepers.
Thanks,
Patrick

the top lever screw might look like Pieper but nothing else does. I have a bunch of Pieper's and Bayard's and that action shape doesn't look like any of them.
