Is it safe to use modern shells in a 12 gauge Acme Arms Co side by side dual hammer shotgun stamped Belgium?

Absolutely NOT. These guns were made from c.1890-1914 and have either twist or laminated steel barrels. They were never designed for the pressures of today's ammunition.

Side by side shotgun with dual hammers?
Possibly a BAYER 12 Gauge side by side ? Mine has two hammers and triggers. The trademark of a knight on horseback is inscribed on both barrels, and also 'Anc.Etabl.Pieper Herstal Belgium' inscribed on the barrel rail. Have any older shotgun checked by a gunsmith before using, it may not be up to modern loads. I cant find any other markings except for Occidential stamped on the side and it has a police shield on the but of the handle

This is probably a Stevens model 520. What is your question?
What is the age and value of a Stevens Model 33 shotgun?
The "J.Stevens" name was shortened to "Stevens" in 1940. What you need to look for is the chamber size, which should be stamped on the barrel. It needs to be 2 & 3/4 inches to shoot modern ammo. Also Stevens usually stamped near the chamber size if the barrel was proof tested. My Stevens single is stamped "Proof Tested Steel" and it handles modern ammo well, but kicks like a mule. To be really safe, let a gunsmith look at it.

Coleman Double barrel Hammer shotgun What is it worth its in fair condition?
Sorry, but none of my references list a Coleman as a manufacturer of shotguns. There is a possibility that Coleman was the retailer- at one time, hardware stores could order guns made up with their brand names on the guns. Many were inexpensive imports, usually from Belgium. I did find 2 mentions of a Coleman marked shotgun with Damascus twist steel barrels (these should NOT be fired with modern ammo). If you can repost with ALL markings on the gun (including any under the forearm, and where the barrels join the frame) we will do our best to find you an answer.
