One that was made in Belgium. What you see is a proof mark. In many European countries, firearms must be submitted to the government proof house for testing (being "proven" safe to shoot). The crown above the letter R was a mark of the Proof House of Liege, Belgium that went into use in 1852 for handguns. Beyond that, it does not tell us anything about WHO made it, or what it is. Sort of like the Underwriter's Lab sticker on an electrical appliance. Sticker does not tell me what the appliance is, just that it is safe to use.

My bestfriend has one that is a revolver trying to figure it out too anyone out there have the answer?
The proof mark of the crown over the letter R signifies the proof house of East German,Suhl.This has been used since 1950 and means repair proof.The proof of the star over the letters AE usually signify the smokeless powder proof for firearms from France.

R stands for "Regina" in criminal cases i.e. the Crown. In criminal cases the other party is the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) who bring the action against the defendant on behalf of the State, or the Crown. It is referred to as R for Regina aka the Queen. Most lawyers will refer to it as "The Crown and Smith" NOT "R versus Smith"
