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

Revolver Galand
Cal. 8mm Lebel, barrel 2 inches, overall length 5 3/4 inches
Richard
It acts of a revolver GALAND in 8mm TUE-TUE which was a trade mark by Charles François GALAND street Vivegnis, 288 in Liege, the 02.10.1893.
This weapon was also manufactured in 32 S&W and 7,65. It was finally presented with barrel falling for the star extraction.
It carries the punches of the proof tests of Liege, that is to say :
Spangled ELG in a crowned oval: acceptance - use of 1893 to 1968.
J spangled: countermark of the controller - of use of 1877 until todays.
R crowned: rifled bore - use of 1894 to 1968.
L crowned: this punch poses an insoluble problem of identification for the moment. Research is in hand because this punch is met on various revolvers of the time.

Another TUE TUE
This guy of Charles François GALAND really tested all the systems with his TUE-TUE.
After the traditional loading by door then by cylinder falling, here a TUE-TUE with crack has who’s I was unaware of the existence (let us remain modest).
I examined two catalogs GALAND without meeting the weapon as mentioned??
