Thank you. Was it common for a maker in one country to cite a city in another country as where it was made? In this case, if I understand the info thus far in this thread, the gun was made in Belgium, but a name on the rib is of a German town.

OK. This is great stuff. What a wonder if the world of doubles.

So the German's hired the Belgian's, or the other way around? Who got the "credit" for the gun?

Got it. Like JC Higgins putting their name on an AyA.

Thanks! The owner is going to enjoy this information a great deal I think.

For a time, I'm a bit perplexed what the I/E or i.E. represents; really the E. Where is Wolfgang?

Also, I'm highly confident that all of the sporting weapons wearing the load data were slated for clientele in the German Empire. Is that an export powder stamp, ECn3, on the water-table?

Ah, Wolfgang has put me on the straight & narrow as I was mistaken as to the proper city: Mülhausen i. E. or im Elsass / Alsace, France. The city was tossed between France & Germany until I would guess around WWI. So technically it would be a French holding & a French firearms merchant but was under German occupation during the time the sporting weapon experienced proof.
