Info request on Belgian small frame .22 rf martini

[breakeyp]

The barrel marking, hunters horn in a circle, must be a makers marking but I don't recognize it. Belgian proofed barrel and no other markings. Does anyone recognize it?

Tilting block. Doesn't look like the 'normal' Martini.

Nice rifle. The heavy barrel says target shooting, the tiny sights don't. What about a range report?

It would be better if you could post the photos with the barrel markings the right way up. The letters INSIDE the posthorn circle would be a good clue, if I could read them! My computer doesn't work upside down, and I am unable to stand on my head.

It's a superior kind of Belgian garden plinker. If you have any idea of the sheer number of small manufacturers in Belgium in the 19th. C you will understand why the letters in the posthorn are important to reduce the number of possibilities. At the moment, I can only see N?

OK, got it!

The letters inside the circle are NF = Neumann Fréres, Liège, 1860-1962.
