Yet another interesting Belgian Decree of November 18th, 1903 established the use of the >>Unique<< >>standardized smokeless powder<< as the Official Smokeless Powder, instead of the 25 powder variations, and was deemed the 4th Proof as an Optional Proof and the Calibrator applied the stamp of the Rampant Lion over PV(>>Poudre Vive<<). Then if a maker wanted a specific proof from the lot of 25 approved and available powders, the platform was subjected to a 5th Proof Effort, purely optional or voluntary of course.
