Gene,

The .40 needle fire from J C Militaria has what looks like a Liege (ELG in an oval) proof mark on the barrel.

.30284 .410 conversion from .360 Rook Rifle has what is known as the “slab sided hammerless” action.

I am fairly sure that these actions were sourced from Belgium as I examined an example by Rigby at Holt’s that had Belgian Proof marks in the original Rook calibre throughout, and I can’t see Rigby sending it to Belgium for Proof if it was made in the U.K.

My own example, by Edwinson Green, started life as a .295 being rifled by Adams and Tait in Birmingham and proofed there.

It was then lined to .22 rimfire and has since been bored out to .410 2 1/2 inch.
