I thought "B & S" was 'Ball and Shot' ?

Agree with recent posts. Do not know of "B & S" Fully Birmingham proofs. At minimum
barrelled action made in England-most likely fully made in England.

The location and format of B&S mark suggests go me it is the mark of the barrel maker.

Yeah I agree with Mark, the B&S is probably the maker of the tubes. I've got a 6 gauge double that's marked W&S for Wooley & Sargent.
