Yep, you are correct. All Belgian guns are junk. The entire output spanning over 400 years. Everyone knows if it was not made in London, it is not worth owning!
Seriously, you can't believe that nonsense....
American companies purchased 150,000 sets of damascus barrels from Belgium in 1906. Baker and others testified before congress, begging them to increase the tariff on Belgian guns so they could compete.
Canvasback nailed it. Pieper produced a lot of guns. Judge the gun. Some have survived better than others.
