There were perhaps several "Parker" shotguns made in Belgium. One could guess that this was to cash in on the popularity of America's premier shotgun made by Parker Brothers on Meridian Connecticut.
This website and forum is devote to Parker Brothers shotguns. Many of the members including me appreciate other fine shotguns. There were however many, many companies at the turn of the last century making shotguns such as the one that you posted. Often, we know little about some of those small companies and their guns. Sorry.
While not a Parker Brothers shotgun, you gun is a family heirloom that should be cleaned up and preserved for future generations. I am not recommending shooting it for I do not know of the gun's strength or quality.
I which I had a 'wallhanger" of which I could say, "That shotgun belonged to my grandfather".
