Tubes more than likely sourced from Neumann Brothers(Neumannn Frères). I suppose they could have manufactured it? Anything on the buttplate or top rib?
Cheers,

Thanks Rainey. No marks on the rib or the buttplate. Buttplate has carvings of deer and other animals but no makers info.
I too thought about Nuemann F. But i think his mark was N in a bugle and not NF.
I think it's nitro proof with 2 3/4 chambers.

I'm pretty confident that NF and an encircled NF represents compensation & liability for Neumannn Frères( Broková dvojka Neumann Frères, Liege). An encircled N also denotes effort by the Gebrüder Neumann. I'll have to dig thru the bowels of the BBS and see if I can ferret out some similar touchmarks. I'm sure you checked the sides of the lugs & the standing breech?
Cheers,
Raimey

I not sure of the date code / lettre annale, but I seem to recall @ one point hashing out the possibilities of that character?  Cheers, Raimey rser

Thanks everyone for the info. Raimey - Checked the sides of the lugs and standing breech and did not find any markings. It has Purdey style triple bolting.

Well then, I'll continue to search. Does the frame have the side frame re-enforcement? On the lettre annale & knowing that assumption is the antithesis of exactitude, what if we assumed that the inspector's touchmark of a P surmounted by a Star, or a Spangled P, rigidly bounds the date to say 1950-1965, what then would you say the character represents?
Cheers,
Raimey
