Belgian proofs references

[cie]

I have a line on several old belgium revolvers. They have only proof marks on them and no other markings. Is there any good reference site that can relate these to date of manufacture?

With No Crown ontop of the Oval that meens its Pre 1893

there are over 2 dozen different Belgian proofs used at different times for different things...

The published reference for that mark is "The Standard Directory of Proof Marks" by Gerhard Wirnsberger
