Appears to have a no.2 barrel, but not with the gun. Photos for identification. Last edited by LetFly; 11/20/22 12:44 PM.

TOLEDO STEEL WORKS SHEFFIELD Barrels on a Belgian gun is a sign of high quality, they are first rate quality and costs a bit more than Krupp in the same period. A great looking quality gun. What is the barrel length and overall weight? Michael Dittamo Topeka, KS
