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

COLOT Lambert
Here is a very beautiful percussion rifle signed by
LRT
(Lambert) Colot, in a stunning condition
for its age since it is more than a century and a half.
LRT Colot
was registered on the Liège proofhouse in 1850 and 1851, which corresponds
perfectly to this rifle.
Markings
Not much
to say: 13.6 almost certainly corresponds to the caliber (you should measure...)
;
JL: not
listed;
C
crowned: probably the mark of a controller, although this type of countermark
appeared only from December 30, 1853, with a question mark in my archives;
ELG on
star in vertical oval: accepted between 1846 and 1893.
GP with HPH
