Can you ID these proof marks?

What I am comparing your gun too is illustrations in a reference book. Other examples of the revolver would be the best way for comparing the stamps. I'll try later to get some pics of the illustrations uploaded later for you to see. That's a good question as to who would copy a Galland. I am not sure if your gun is or not, it seems to be a quality product and usually copys tend to be rough looking in some way or another with regards to manufacture. It's the cyl. marking that looks strange to me. It may be some in house Galland manufacturer stamp etc. But the only thing I have seen that looks remotely like that mark is the Nepalese writing on my Martini-Henry from Nepal.
