Until a French-speaking guy who knows European guns comes along, this is my ballpark effort:
[Hammerless Hunting Gun, Anson & Deeley type, Greenwood Street, Liege, Belgium]
Poids: [weight:] [as per three gauges offered]
eniron: [approximately]
[Proofed with nitro powder]
M.L. [Liege, Belgium- Firearms (brand)] Acier [steel] special: [Special Steel]
5580 – Special Steel gun M. L. full choke left barrel, cylinder right barrel, Greener’s patent treble wedge fast bolting system, English engraving [style?], “trempe jaspee” [stumped here: figured metal grip cap?? -- something aesthetic]
5580 E. – the same gun with automatic ejectors
5600 – as with 5580 –finished simpler, engraved screws, and rosettes, “trempe jaspee” [still stumped here: figured metal grip cap? -- something aesthetic] (Model 5600 is lower cost?, maybe due to no English-style engraving.)
