When it comes to the forgings, I am confident that the sources were few. Frame Files & Actioners just may be under a broad umbrella. Many times in the corners of the water-table a Belgian mechanic left their fingerprints.

I just looked on a Nelson Steel Belgian tubeset & I found the initials of >>DG<<; maybe they were of the same family of tube makers and the name is actually HG on the Smets.

But many times the names on guns of French Speaking origin have the initials reversed like on some Bohemian Guns, well @ least their proper names....
