OWD:

Is the tube length near 25"? Also what is the mark in a circle atop a number(50??) next to the "Crowned" "ELG" in an oval on the underside of the right tube? The name is gold is almost identical to what one would see on a Frantisek Faukner. These were small shops with say 1/2 dozen craftsmen and probably post WWI, and definitely post WWII, they were sourcing components from Belgium. The shops yearly output of inhouse manufacture was probably on the order fo 20 guns/year. Some Belgian sourced examples have Poldi tubes, that look to have been sent to Belgium and then experienced final proof in the Czech Republic.

Kind Regards,
