It will be valued primarily as a mantle decoration. $100 - $250, depending on condition.
Janssen Fils & Co was making guns from 1895 to 1965. Since yours is marked in English (Sons instead of Fils) it was made for export to the US and the mass import of shotguns from Belgium was cut off by WWI and never resumed after, so it's a pretty good bet that yours was made between 1895 and 1914. Value will be determined by how nice it looks over the mantle, usually $150 to $250.
Janssen & Co, Leige, Belgium became Janssen Fils & Co., c. 1892. Sometime between 1895 and 1914 the company became part of Simonis, Janssen, Dumoulin & Co. They would have marked guns intended for export to the United States "Sons" instead of "Fils".

Probably about $125-$150 as a mantle decoration.
No published sn data that I am aware of.
Janssen was a Belgian gunmaker. According to my notes, the company used this name c. 1892 - 1896. Answer I have a Janssen Sons shotgun that used to belong to my grandfather. It has carving on the side of the breech and the bottom. It also has carvings on the walnut stock. I was given this same gun from my father. It has very detailed carvings in the stock and etchings on the barrel. I have been unable to find out anything about the maker or a present day price. I have looked in many of the shotgun books. My father paid 50 cents for this gun during the depression.

sons were especially valued in Jewish socity because they carried on the family nameBecause they could carry on the family name when they got married and had a son. They were also valued because they helped the father in whatever business he was in and were allowed to get educated before the women were. The sons could be trained in a number of skills and fathers needed them for this advantage.
Because they supported the family, got a Heavenly Reward for learning Torah, and were far more useful in the ancient world when you had dowries instead of bride-prices.
