I did come across something similar in my searching. Interesting on how many places come up when one runs the "gun stores near" string for Naples, Italy!
The other two words on the barrel - "Foudres" and “Vives” translate to "Bright Thunderbolts". I like that! |

Am I looking at welds along the juncture of the action flats and the breech faces?

Michael: the gun does carry Smokeless Powder proof.
Acier Cockerill was quality fluid steel, used by Pieper and Laurent Lochet-Habran. I don't believe Cockerill made barrels. Please post full size images of the barrel flats and just forward of the flats and we might be able to ID the DOM (if it carries a lettre annale) and the maker.

@Dean - no I don't believe so. There's a fair amount of grunge, however.
Barrel flats... |

It was made 1910-1921 (there is no lettre annale); probably post-WWI with the 70mm chambers.
The barrels were made by Laurent Lochet-Habran What are the 2 letters on the right barrel by the SN? J something? Le Perron indicates inspection at Banc d’Epreuves de Liege (Liege Proofhouse)

If 'JF' it would be Janssen Freres which was a major Liege maker
