Belgium sourced Jaeger/ Bittiner blitz gun that I thought was built by scholberg /Bittiner but found this mark after my cataract surgery?
Funny found gun problems I didn’t see before as well!
Mark is a LF in an oval see pic. Who’s mark is this?

Yep I looked there but gun was made definitely 1910-1924. Nothing panned out from there.
Littlegun is the go to site for Belgium gun marks but unfortunately turned up 0 this time.
Maybe this LF guy just made action or was engraver. Possibly mark for Belgium gun made for foreign distribution?

Many times in French gunmaking circles, F in the last position is for Frères.

Pete Mikalajunas' site is inactive, but I saved his list of Belgian marks.
He had 'LF' as Leroy Brothers (Frères as Raimey suggested) but they are not listed on the littlegun site. Possibly the actioners.
If you would post full size close ups of every mark on the barrel flats, just forward of the flats, and action flats we might be able to provide more information.

I would have thought the man or people who chiseled those fences would have marked something. Then I found this mark now that I can see.

I would say the encircled LF(Leroy Frères) was for payment & compensation for the mechanic who blind filed the wells in the action or was the actioner. Are there any stamps on the standing breech? Has anyone put their finger on the origin of the adornment, being Belgian or German?
