Pete,I was sorry to learn that the Thornton gun is no longer on display in the Liege Arms museum and that the Damascus production exhibit has been down sized.This likely a result of the serious economic problems faced by the city of Liege in the early 1990,s.If you happen to have access to the book,"100 Great Guns", by Merrill Lindsay, the Thornton gun is pictured on page,131. The catalogue reference at the Liege museum is given as;Ae 1[5866]
Perhaps you could arrange to view the gun if you are ever in a position to make return visit to Belgium.
