I drew them because I could not get good pictures.

726687266972670

I know one is Liege and one is Patron but the rest are a mystery oh except the 11.4 which is the caliber. Liege and Patron are on both the barrels and the receiver.

Any clues

11.4mm that is what it is marked, sort of joking. The sell said it was .450 Black Powder Express and included a couple fired cases. I have fired it successfully, two boxes of ammo I loaded with Black Powder. I was searching to see if the rifle was Proofed for Nitro for Black. It has Henry Rifling so clearly it is not a .450 Nitro Express. .... 11.4mm is 0.449 inches

Does this help at all? http://www.slideshare.net/leblanko/belgian-all-proofmarks

It looks like for nitro proof, they used a lion with P.V. under it (no 19).

The X with a star above might be the controller Alfred Reignier; the years 1937-1964 might be about right for that rifle.

The cursive T might the date code for 1960?
