The narrow part at the muzzle of a shotgun barrel is called the choke. It squeezes the shot so that it stays together. Without the choke, the shot flies in all directions as soon as it leaves the barrell.

It is called a choke, and is design to tighten the pellet pattern.
The term "Long Tom" was used to denote a muzzle loading cannon that had a barrel much longer than standard. While slower to load, it had greater range. Over the years it has been applied to guns with a longer than usual barrel, notably shotguns. It is a name used by several makers- the earliest that I have found is between the late 1890's and early 1900s, but they were made up into the 1920s."Long Tom" was an unofficial name for a muzzle loading cannon with a much longer than usual barrel- slower to load, greater range. The name was borrowed by shotgun makers around 1900 to denote a shotgun (usually a single shot) with a longer than usual barrel. Not a brand name, but a model name.
THis is not the name of the shotgun, but kind of barrel, made in Belgium. Acier means Steel, and Cockerill stands for "Cockerill-Sambre" the name of the steel maker.

It could be the maker of the shotgun, the name of the store that sold it, the name of the person who made the barrels, etc..
There are other markings on the gun, somewhere.
