It is a "Trade Brand Name" shotgun made by English gun maker Joseph Bourne & Son. There should be English or British proof marks for the Birmingham proof house (Crown over either the letters "RP" or "NP" depending on when the gun was proofed). Proof marks should be on the bottom of the barrels. They made medium and high quality shotguns. The vast majority were exported to Southern Africa and India.
