Daryl & Randall,
Thanks...
I have been burned recently by quoting from some sources, especially regarding proof information. I have 4 sources for the Belgian marks and even they do not agree on every facet. Perhaps I got this one correct?
So little of the bullet proofs marks on guns that show up here. I did not include them in the website list, just as I did not include the military marks.
I could see some one writing steel jackets. The only way I know of the Beglian use of "chemise" in the gun trade is because they use it when talking about making damascus. The best translation for that period is "under shirt" (Larry, Ted jump in here). Which does not exactly describe a jacket on a bullet does it? The better description might be manteau.
