Some of the most beautiful work of this craftsman, and many others, are in this book “Liège Gunmakers through their Work. 1800 - 1950”.

Manufacture Liégeoise d’Armes à Feu
Here is a garden rifle from the "Manufacture liégeoise d’armes à feu" with
octagonal barrel, in calibre 9 mm Flobert short in one shot. The barrel is
probably smooth. The percussion block contains the percussionist struck by the
outside hammer. Its opening causes the casing to be removed. The adjustment of
the semi-pistol stock leaves something to be desired.
It must also be said that these “garden” weapons are not luxury items. There is
a Hubertus Patent mark on the barrel,
a trademark registered by the Manufacture in 1893.
The markings
L under star:
countermark of a controller between 1877 and 1968
Peron: inspection since 1853
FL 9 M C: the calibre, the 9 mm Flobert short with annular percussion
ELG on star in crowned
oval: accepted between 1893 and 1968
ML under crown in an oval:
one of the trademarks of the Manufacture Liégeoise d’Armes à feu.
