It appears to be a low cost, low quality European utilitarian gun, and not the kind of quality American SXS shotgun of our general interest here. Probably of little value except to hang over the mantel. We highly recommend you don't attempt to shoot it.

Made in Belgium by the proof marks, unfortunately it is not their best quality as they did make some wonderful guns. I see someone has tried to tighten it up with a hammer and punch. It probably served it's first owner for many years and has earned an honorable retirement.
