Belgian. All day, every day, twice on Sunday.

Looks like a "xi" over a "*G". I don't have the date tables handy but I'll guess immediate post-WWII.

I see a "w" which would mean 1944.
For "ARMAF"see here:http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/artisans%20identifies%20a/a%20armaf%20fr.htm

So, in reference to my original post, has anyone heard of Heinrich Keighoff of Suhl? That is the marking on the left barrel. The rib is marked “barrels by Armaf”

Just trying to figure out who made this gun and where. Or any other info out there.

Thanks

Looks like the tubes were by Jean Falla and made for export in 1956 if the lettre annale is xi? Have you any images of the Suhl stamps?

Below is a link to a similar set of replacement tubes from ARMAF DAGUN(Manufacture Liégeoise d'armes à Feu & J.B. Rongé Fils(Jean Baptiste)) Société Anonyme(ARMAF Liégeoise) in 1954:

So, if a replacement tubeset, let's see the action / frame? How many jeweled flats did the Belgians turn out....?

From the bowels of the internet on Poulin Antiques & Auction Inc. site. Is it a 2 barrel set?? Poulin site gives that the water-table is jeweled as well. Images of the water-table & standing breech of the receiver is about the only way we can put the pieces together.
