markings....

Very nice belgian made (ch=Herstal, Liege, Belgium).

nice one…..typical mud/waterfind appearance.

The 2 grooves at the end of the Barrel......nayone knows for sure what they are for? I spent some time researching this and the only Information I found was that it is for a better grip of the protection cap (made of cardbord) that "sealed" the Barrel.
Any other Information on this?

thats the only known explanation of these rings...published in the well known book about rifle grenades
