Franc,
Nope, never heard... and my brld actions are not marked Britte anywhere except recent importers marks. Some of the barrels were marked Seiman - Martin(sp?) with the proprietary brazing method, I don''t have herre adn the ones I do are marked with a tear drop, acier (I believe means steel), birds head symbol COMPRIME, cap, J.F.,and another teardrop. None of which I don't understand. Don't know of any English connnection with the Belgian metal, but I'm sure interested in any further understanding. The Britte metalwork is exceptional quality!
By golly Pete, you are a marvel of information!
Kerryman, Thanks for the addition, I'm glad you are enjoying the books!
Daryl, you squeezed in there when I was posting, Jules Bury is known to be one of the firms that bought metalwork from Britte, and Griffin & Howe is now marketing the same metalwork I have as finished guns under the Jules Bury name. Does your gunlock have the same pin placement as these? (Good to see you and Ann on Sunday! I wish I had shot your Dickson even if it was too long.)
Best,
Steve
