I need some help trying to find who built this gun and when. The only identifying marks are under the forearm. Acier Martele, from that I was able to determine it was Belgium steel. It was also stamped 12/70, from that I was able find the gauge and chamber length. There are a couple of other proof marks but that is it. What else am I looking for and where should I be looking? I dont care if its a 10 or 10,000 dollar gun as its not going anywhere but just trying to research it for personal knowledge.

Proof Marks

This should help. Appears to be from the Liege Proof House.

Proofhouse codes

Maybe Henrion & Dassy?
