The mark "GB" in a circle at the upper side of the barrel stands for "Gouvernement Belgique" what says that this gun is not a Dutch one but a "fusil d'infanterie N°1 transformé" of the Belgian army. It has nothing to do with the Netherlands. These guns have been made in the Manufacture d'Armes de l'Etat at Liège beginninmg with 1840.
