Daryl,

Yes, I saw that in the French Who's Who as well. They are dating a gun to 1867, his name was seen on a percussion rifle by Ghaye. That is where I got the reference to Ghaye.

I do not know for sure about M.A.L. as the source. The Belgian Who's Who, never explains. However, they list 2 reference numbers, so I assumed it was a museum. I searched the online catalog at http://www.museedarmes.be/home.htm (Liege Museum of Fire Arms)but drew a blank. Does not mean it is not in their collection.... The other major museum in Liege www.lesmuseesenwallonie.be/ (Museum of Wallon Life) does not have a working website at the moment.
