Anyone know anything about this maker? Syrena of Liege.

Stumbled upon a sideplated boxlock with lovely highly figured honey and smoke stock, oak-adorned liegeious fences, and seems to have been crafted with attention to detail. The engraving on the sideplates seemed quite unremarkable, however, dare I say I wish they’d let it be rather than ruining a perfectly good canvas! Low 4 digit SN#.

All I was able to find on it was a catalog on eBay someone wanted $200 for (in Polish?) FWIW it looked almost identical to a Francotte catalog I have here that’s in French that covered their local offerings (which are very different from the line of guns Francottes that VL&D/A, A&F imported to the US), but I compared and the patterns were all slightly different but just about identical in style; however most lacked the greener cross bolt and side clips so common of US-imported Francottes from before the War.

Fotos would be most beneficial. Right off, I do not recognize Syrena of Liège as an Arquebusier or Armourer, but that doesn't mean much. Syrena may just be the name of modell.
