Fully engraved including the hammers and trigger guard with what looks like a setter on one lock plate. Proof marks look Belgium. The unusual thing is the barrels are octogon for 3 1/2" from the breech which is also octogon. Many Thanks Ernie

But since 1900, its numbers have increased by 5k to 50,000. From that we can thank Sears, Roebuck & Company for making all the low end Belgian imports available. Too bad they didn't cough up about 8 dollars more and get a Remington hammergun. Kind Regards, Raimey rse
