Many of the Belgian second-tier guns were branded so as to be easily confused with big-name brand guns. Peiper instead of Pieper, Purdy instead of Purdey, Halland & Halland instead of Holland & Holland, or in your case Glement instead of Clement. The workmanship was fair, the materials fair, and the price point was within reach of even a modest earner. Many were private branded for stores with very small minimum orders. Many were very serviceable for the first owner, but wear and time were not always nice to them. I still see them, whenever grandpa dies and the kids think they got a treasure, or sometimes they just want to shoot grandpa's guns.
