I wish all the date codes on the barrel flats looked more like the letters in the chart! Agree that one looks closest to the 1928 "g", but it also bears a resemblance to the 1953 mark.

Larry, I agree on the clarity of some of the marks. I had to tilt the picture 90 degrees and looked at the best mark on the left barrel [right hand side in the photo] and it was a pretty good replica of the chart.

Here's a chart of the Greek alphabet to help interpret the 49' to 61' marks

The taste of poor quality lingers long after the cheap price is forgotten.........

C.J., thank you so much. I love it and the details on the interior. We , or at least I, sometimes forget how high the quality of a Belgian gun could be. I have a friend in Belgium who is always helping me understand that. Daryl

Here are a couple more pics, the guns seem to be very close in resemblance. I've looked at a lot of doubles and can tell you that the handling characteristics,..fit and finish on this gun are second to none. look at the second picture, you have to take a magnifying glass to see where the trigger plate joins the bottom of the frame, so much for belgian clunlkers.... Like My friend Mark says,...sometimes you buy the gun , not the name CJ

C.J., thanks again. Yes, the lockup appears the same. Locks seem a little different. My gun is going to be too short. Maybe it is a candidate for a butt transplant as I need 15 1/2" and the lop to the wood is about 13 1/4 ". Does anyone know who does this work ?

Daryl,
Since it doesn't fit you, send it my way. My short arms should be a perfect fit.
Great gun. Congratulations!
Chris

Daryl, Have you seen the work from Montana Long Guns in Polson? I think they do a great job and they don't seem to be outrageously expensive. http://www.mtlongguns.comBeautiful gun!
