Alex: As Pete suggested, are there any letters stamped on the bottom of the brls or the brl flats? If so, we might be able to identify the maker. For instance: GDH would be Delcour Herket, a J superimposed on a D would be Jean Duchateau, LD is Lambert Dumoulin, or a three-lobed crown over a D is the mark of Jean-Baptiste Delcour-Dupont. Unfortunately, those marks were frequently lost in the fit and finish process.
Distributors also stamped barrels, the most commonly found being SD&G for Schoverling, Daly & Gales, New York City
