At least one company that made guns marked with the Tru Test label was Crescent firearms.
The Crescent Gun Company made guns which were sold under assorted brand names back around the turn of the last century. "Essex", "Knickerbocker", "Lakeside", "American Gun Co."; an on-line search will turn up an amazing list of over a hundred names under which these low cost guns were marketed. In many cases local hardware stores contracted with Crescent to have a small run of guns stamped with their store name. Essentially, anyone who had the cash could have Crescent guns stamped with their own brand name. These were low budget guns of serviceable quality which have little to no collector value today.
Need serial number to give the correct year. Auto 5 shotguns were never made in Utah. Browning stamped guns with the city that was their Headquarters as a rule. Morgan Utah was HQ for The Browning Arms Company for many years. They started to Stamp A5 Barrels with that address in 1969. The guns were made in both Belgium and Japan during these years. Belgian guns with Morgan Utah were made from 1969-1976 Japanese guns with Morgan Utah 1976-1998
Browning imported guns never did say "fabric en belgium". Those guns that were made by FN were all stamped "made in Belgium" on the barrels, for those guns that were made for Browning. There are Browning patent guns made by FN that were sold outside the US and not imported by Browning that may have said fabric, but not on a Browning Arms Co. gun. Browning stopped production on the A5 in 1976 when production began in Japan. Any gun no matter when it was made in Belgium would be stamped made in belgium. Different models were made at different times and production by FN varied as to when they ceased.
