Sweet.
It does not have a lettre annale so was made 1910-1921. Interesting that it is marked Poudres Pyroxilees. Pyroxile = gun cotton = nitrocellulose. SO the gun was designed for Nitro powders, but does not carry Smokeless Powder proof. That is not uncommon with Belgian guns built for export to the U.S. Smokeless proof was optional until the Proof House revisions of 1924. Obviously the Siemens-Martin steel is good stuff. 'JV' could be Joseph Vandalem de Chaudfontaine who made the tubes from Siemens-Martin steel provided by Acier Cockerill Liégeoise Sorry but no help with the model. Cornell Pubs has a 1912 Francotte catalog https://www.cornellpubs.com/old-guns...p?item_id=3196

Thanks Bob - I have read that information and I don't see my answer. The side selector and safety is what is throwing me. From my evaluation it is a more modern gun not imported by VLD or AF. Thanks for your assistance, greatly appreciated. I spoke with Stephen Cobb and he is unsure as well.

Drew, I am not familiar with lettre annale. What does that mean?

"Date letters". The year it was proved, not necessarily manufactured
 Very similar barrel markings on this Von Lengerke & Detmold import which by the SN would be an 1899 DOM https://www.icollector.com/Pre-War-F...tgun_i13827911 Your SN DOM is 1903

Drew, does the Poudres Pyroxilees mean a direct translation to smokeless powder? There are other Belgian proofs which would be more direct in this translation, correct?
