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

SCHOLBERG Gustave
Here is an imposing revolver that, from afar,
reminds of some models of Smith & Wesson, but its opening system to tilt the
barrel is very special.
The paternity of this
weapon must be attributed to
Gustave SCHOLBERG
himself.
A resident in Montevideo, he was represented in
Belgium by Mr. Hamal who filed his patent (080295) on January 16, 1888.
Other weapons from
BROQUA & SCHOLBERG
have already been presented on the site.
Only two Belgian punches can be seen: ELG on star in
oval, for acceptance before 11 July 1893, and a G under star, the countermark of
a controller. The caliber would be a .45.
GP with the help of HPH.
