Jongen J.
JONGEN Frères (bench of test of Liege 1856-1873) taken again in 1874 by JAMAR-SMITS & JONLET themselves taken again in 1906 by LAJOT & JONLET.
British patent 2383/1864, for improvements in the construction of revolvers with percussion. The production was simplified by reaming the rooms directly through by a passage of tool, and by closing the back with a part blocked by screw.
A "pin" was run up against by the striker, instead of the direct contact between the aforementioned and the cartridge.
The applicant was probably a member of the company of manufacture of gun of Liege "Jongen Frères".
