The gun has been to the Belgian proof house.

It does not have a complete set of proof marks. A firing pin may be missing.

Think you are on the right way, maybe it is this:

Damas turc fin = Fine Turkish damascus

It's number 7, 8 and 9 on the site down

I think you are spot on. Didn't think of Turc right off. Forsaken Gothic or Fraktur text - Damas Turc Fin

Great work, guys. Thanks. Do you think just the barrels are Turkish and it was a Continental manufacturer?

Think it was made in Liège, Belgium in fact of the proof stamps.
The barrels are not "turkish" but made of fine belgium turkish damascus steel.
