To all,

Thanks for the replies. There is a repair to the wood on the left side of the receiver so I need to glass this area as best as I can to close the gaps.

There are no Belgian marks on the metal anywhere. No Perron or other Belgian like marks. I'll try to get a better photo of the proof marks. All proofs appear German.

I purchased another camera so I am still learning how to take pics.

What is puzzling to me is the "1 23" over the "4 31" I was thinking that it went back for a reproof perhaps??

Any ideas about who may have actually made it?
