Rouma Lambert
Here is a shotgun that poses two mysteries: on the one hand the caliber, which
is definitely striped since you can see the crowned R, used for rifles with
striped barrel from 1894 to 1968, but I don’t see any trace or mention of the
caliber anywhere (the approximate size is 10mm), and on the other hand the
crowned initials LR, which should be
ROUMA Lambert.
Markings
ELG on star in crowned oval: accepted, in use from 1893 to 1968;
R crowned: striped barrels, in use from 1894 to 1968;
S and C under asterisks: countermarks of controllers;
EL: provisional proof, in use since 1852;
4763 : manufacturing number;
I also think I can distinguish 73, but that doesn't mean anything to me.
Lambert ROUMA
