L. DROIXHE
I do not know this L. DROIXHE of Amsterdam but the weapon with stick with the French (or with head?) resemble rifles of Liège well extremely! There are two DROIXHE in “Who’s Who” is DROIXHE J. of HERSTAL about 1900 and DROIXHE W. of Liege about 1843.

The Neue Stöckel lists a DROIXHE, L. at Liège Fabricant 1811-1813. At Amsterdam there is no name like this listed. May be he had a dependance at Amsterdam?

I do not have yet news of my friend Aloyis, but I suppose that this Mr L. DROIXHE was an Inhabitant of Liège (with a similar name .....) who was established merchant of weapons in Amsterdam of the time of the “marriage” Belgo-Dutch 1815-1830 (perhaps even before time of the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte…) and which, quite naturally, made come its weapons from Liege (in particular), in any case barrels!
The first come ass could say the same thing, I know, but since the others sleep, it should well be shown that in Flanders, one is waked up!
