Does anyone have information about a Winchester model 1903 that was made for Winchester in Belgium.

Barrel reads: Manufactured for the Winchester Repeating Arms CO. New Haven Conn U.S.A. By Emile Masquelier, Liese, Pat Belgium Sept 16,1901, April 30,1902, Feb 16, 1903.

Thanks

winchester 1903

Thanks , but the blue book does not mention a 1903 made by a Belgium contractor. Also this gun has a 2 digit serial number and a Safety.
