Can anybody on here help me? I have come across this website in my quest to ID a double barrel rifle that I have recently purchased. There are absolutley no markings on the outside of the gun. It has all kinds if belgium proof marks on the inside of the gun, and I think is to be a 10.1 mm (stamped on the under the forestock). Now for the real kicker...I cant seem to figure out how to post any pictures to this forum. If somebody sends me an email I can get the pictures to you, or if somebody gives me step by step instructions on how to post pictures I can try this. Thanks in advance.

Could it be B. Blindee that built it? Not sure if in Liege, Belgium that is the maker or the "proofer's" mark on the barrel flats.
Overall, the gun looks very nice too, I might add. Something looks a little off regarding that case coloring but I'm no expert on the Belgian aesthetic for color case hardening.
Have you figured out what caliber it shoots based on a chamber cast? Have you regulated and shot it yet?
You need a guy named Raimey (UserID ellenbr) to take a look at this. He's a genius when it comes to identifying unmarked European guns and assigning them to their true makers.

B. Blindee is the Belgian proof mark that ok's the rifled barrel for use with jacketed bullets. The Crown over R designates a rifled barrel.
You have not posted all the marks, so it is impossible to give a time frame, caliber or possible maker.
It is Belgian. It is rifled. It is nitro proofed.

Can we see more of the Proof Marks on the barrel flats please? I can at least say that it was Proofed at Liege in Belgium for nitro and has the rifled arms mark but you are probably aware of that much already. It looks as if the 'case colours' may have been added by a blow torch by someone. No lasting damage but dosn't look right somehow. Interesting gun none the less. Lagopus.....
