Always good to get different viewpoints from different sources of information, Raimey. What I initially read in French was a description of another Callens gun, in which it was described as having St. Etienne barrels. Followed by the excellent post from neltir in Gunwolf's link, explaining when Callens used St. Etienne barrels and when they used Belgian barrels. I expect it disappoints you to find that some guns with French addresses on the barrels really were made in France, but . . . c'est la vie. smile Personally, I have absolutely no problem--having seen numerous examples--admitting that some guns with French addresses were made in Belgium. But not all of them . . . by a very long stretch.
