Yes on the Paris Proof Facility and good point on that but if a retailer has an address on rue des Arquebusiers Paris, he just has to be a member of the non-Mandatory Paris Proof Facility, a member of the local Arquebusiers of Paris or a local hunt club??

Similar in Liège but there was an exception in the Belgian Proof Law where if a tube / gun was being shipped directly to another proof facility then the weapon could pass without additional proofs or proofs at all??? But that was a later time period.

But the marks will tell you the story, but you must listen carefully. Then again you must have them in hand to inspect that whole of the longarm to get the Story.

Yes, we work on that Liège Dissertation almost every day & have been for almost 20 years now...
