Which one is the Santiago proof mark? Do you have any idea of when it may of been manufactured? Do you have any idea what it may be worth? Thank you for the help! | ||

The Spanish proofmark is the Greek beta on top, the rest is Belgian. It's a few decades old I guess and the selling price wasn't much as these guns were meant for farmers and game keepers, although many young hunters bought them as their first gun. | |||

The reply from Jack Monteith makes sense. However, I disagree with his general appreciation on Belgian guns quality. Many were (a very few still are) handcrafted and could rival with England's best. Names like FN (sorry, not the present FN-Browning), Francotte, Dumoulin, Forgeron, Lebeau-Courally, etc. are reknowned and were favoured by Royal Courts. The latter is still in business but for how long ? Check the site : http://www.lebeau-courally.com/ BTW, the starting price will buy quite a nice car... | |||
