He has a Manufacture Liégeoise d’armes à Feu 16 Ga. boxlock with side clips, pistol grip with metal cap, acier cockerill bbl's, Anson and Dealy fore-end, and conservative engraving. It's a well-worn piece with a serial # of 169664, yet still tight as can be, and one of the nicest 'JABC's' I've seen. Any ideas on where to find a s.n. list?

Appreciate the help!

I've never seen a list
We can provide a range of DOM based on the proof marks, and if post-1921 the barrel flats will have a date code

Thank you, Drew,

The lowercase d would indicate 1925, which it looks like, condition-wise. Is the AD with a star (or walking man) above the letters, below the d, then be the inspector's mark?

Correct,'d' would be 1925. The lettre annale are somewhat stylized and can be difficult to interpret

There is a partial list of inspector's marks at the bottom here, but many marks are not included (including the fused AD which is common), some were repeated, and the significance of some were lost in a fire at the Proof House so guns can not be dated by the inspector's marks

Cornell Pubs has a 1932 Manufacture Liégeoise catalog repro which should show the model
