Default She thought it was a Parker

My wife bought me a side by side double shot gun at an estate sale last week. She thought that it was a Parker (at a glance maybe a bit) similar to the one I have, a 1905 CHE. But when I looked at it I found that it was an Auguste Francotte. Unlike a Parker, I found researching this gun is confusing.
I am looking for information on how to identify this gun or someone who has experience with them. An interesting side note; it has a 20" Damascus barrel, if someone cut it down they did a great job, even has the bead. Also it has sling attachment rings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
