Fox barrels marked "made by Armat or Amart?

[MilRob]

I was in a local shop looking at a 12 ga XE with 28" barrels. He had a second set of 26" barrels for the gun that said "Barrels by Amart" or Armat. Nothing else was stamped on the barrels other than the engraving on the barrel wedges. I did not have a long time to look at the gun. The water table had proofs all over it. Anyone have an idea of the barrel maker? Or heard of barrels made by them?

I suspect the barrels were added in Liege by the firm, ARMAF. I have 2 guns so barreled. One is a set of 3 1/2" 10 gauge magnums fitted to a #3 frame Parker Grade 2 top lever hammer gun. The other is a rather hefty early A&D Lindner Chas. Daly with a set of 3" 12 gauge magnums and a set of 3 1/2" 10 gauge magnums. While both guns retain their original factory Damascus barrels the ARMAF barrels fitted to them are quite beautifully made. They also were proofed in Liege. ARMAF also made their own line of guns.
