There is a long list of shotguns that are marked Royal, but I cannot find the United Arms part of your marking in my lists. All that I do find are attributed to Anciens Etablissments Pieper in Leige, Belgium, so I would bet on that being the source of yours, too. Since this version of the company name was first used in 1905 and the export of civilian firearms from Belgium ended when the Germans invaded in 1914, that would make your gun right around 100 years old.

When were double damascus steel barrels made in the usa?
The use of damascus barrels on guns began to decrease pretty rapidly after 1900, although they were still fairly common up until the start of WWI. If you have a breech loading gun with damascus barrels it will probably date from 1875 - 1910. Most damascus barrels on U.S. guns seem to have actually made in Belgium. There is a lot of debate as to whether any damascus barrels for shotguns were actually made in the U.S. It seems likely there may have been small numbers produced in the U.S. However, Belgium had a large gunmaking trade at the time, with a lot of barrel makers specializing in damascus barrels, so it was generallly cheaper to import them than to make them.
