The name simply means Liege United Gunmakers. I've seen their stuff before--pretty decent guns. A lot of their guns were imported under the "Centaure" name. Had one of their OU's in 20ga once. A lot like a Merkel, Kersten top bolt and a 3-piece forend.
If the gun is from the 50's, there should be a date code on the underside of the barrels. During that era, they used letters from the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet. Should be just a single letter, all by itself. If you can find it and describe it, I can probably date it for you.
Belgian OU's, other than the Browning Superposeds, are not all that common. I'll bet it's a pretty nice gun. |
