Here is some of Mr. Bakers ad info for Belgian clunker luvers out there: .....to achieve the ridiculously low price both the quality of the materials and the time spent by the workmen had to be reduced to an absolute minimum. Wood was used for stocks that in reality was suitable only for firewood. Locks and other moving parts were filed from soft iron instead of hardened steel and so wore rapidly to produce in short order a gun that rattled when shaken. The wear in the lockwork produced a dangerous situatuion when the trigger pressure could either become so light that the lock fired as if it had a 'hair trigger', or conversely became so heavy that the proverbial traction engine was required to pull the trigger.....The catalogue of defects covers every part of the gun, literally from muzzle to heel plate.
