OK. It seems that many of the Belgian made guns may lack initial quality. I have quite a few options on old SXS guns. How about a couple of pointers? And how to tell a knock-off brand from the real quality ones?

The Belgian gun below has steel (fluid?) barrels and not damascus. It is a 98% gun inside and out. What do the proofs on it tell those in the know? Steep learning curve for me here. Thanks.
