Raimey will be along shortly to add to the lore - my knowledge of Belgian guns is limited to three years living in Brussels in the 1980's and eating moules and frites .

You can create a free account or sign on as a guest. You'll figure out out to download a photo from your desktop, come up with a code to post on this site. Baluch are not Brahui, Brahui are Baluch

The barrels are a lower grade Bernard pattern. 'EW' could be the barrel maker or gun maker; possibly one of the Warnants. Emile used 'EW' but he was much later http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/artisans%20identifies%20t%20w/a%20warnant%20famille%20gb.htm Ernest Wilmart was also much later http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/artisans%20identifies%20t%20w/a%20wilmart%20gb.htm https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
