Default Re: Help with jb ronge pistol

strange it has proof marks for both black powder and smokeless

either its made at that period when it was changing over

or its a replica

and i'm leaning for that time period , figure that time in belgium and you'll get a approx year of manufacture

the change over was fast in many places . 4-10 years i read once

ongoing in others it also said old article from the late 30's

have no idea of value i think its a parlour pistol

its a rook or flobert style action

i'd try a .22 short very gently in a safe area as thats what many where meant to shoot , .22 caps where common too

it something wont go in gently , dont force it

go up to a .22 LR to see , but i'd only use CB caps if i was to shoot it myself
