IMO only, the gun is Belgium and the barrels are spurious. According to Greener and Walsh this was quite a problem for the English as lots of guns were totally faked and dumped in England and elsewhere to unsuspecting buyers who were impressed with the name and ignored the rest of the gun. The engraving is second class. Also, as mentioned in a very early post, the crowns with the proof marks just look suspicious. Have never seen them that sharp, nor have I seen the little lines radiating out from the edges of the crowns. But I am very open to other opinions.
