Welcome to HPC mb, and wow, that is a great looking and fantastic condition pre-war, Belgian contract tangent sight High Power. Vanderlinded's 3rd edition, page 709 has a similar example, and dates it to shipping in 1940 to the MAE (State Arms Manufacturer, La manufacture d"Armes de l'Etat de Liege). So yours should be in that same time frame. Some of the marks that I can see - * over E inspector mark, Auguste Jamart who worked between 1924 and 1959
- Crown over GC final Belgian Military Acceptance mark
- Crown over AC (trigger guard) Belgian Military Acceptance mark
- C in a box on the slide, Inspector parts mark, active until May 10 of 1940, so it should pre date May 10, 1949
- E over GB*, Belgian Government Proof applied at FN by military acceptance officer
- Barrel mark E over LG *, Liege proof house marking of barrel acceptance and *E (Auguste Jamart) is the inspector
- Lion over PV, smokeless powder proof
