[QUOTE=fernando]A big pistol indeed

If you don't mind, i would suspect the writings of France and Marseille on the barrel and on the lock. It could be a trading illusion.
The Liege proof mark is there to remind you.

Good eyes Fernando !

Yes many barrels from French guns & pistols was made in Belgium but the lock is from Marseilles it's not the first time I see that.
See the following pictures from a french gun with mark from ST OMER ( north of France and Liege proof mark too.
