    Both guns are of Belgian origin. You'll find ELG proofs on the underside of each set of barrels. While there were many grades of guns made, the vast majority were inexpensive utility guns manufactured in the years around 1900 on up to WW1. Cast steel is a hallmark of such guns and is considered unsafe to shoot because of the poor quality of metals produced at the time.

    These guns are wallhangers in almost every circumstance. Please don't attempt to fire them as cast steel failures (if they happen) can be much more violent than damascus.

    Values, even in the best of condition, will seldom top the $200.00 mark. Most times the guns will sell for half that amount.
