i have one of these in my possession, it was passed down through family. from what i was told it is a Fabrigues d'Armes Unies de Liege gun, you can see the signature stamp if you take it apart its a circle with the initials in it. I was told it was a 12 gauge black powder shell shotgun, so i have never shot it, but if you look up that name on YouTube there is a guy shooting one at cans and it is not as smokey as i would expect black powder to be. I need to take it to a gun smith and have them tell me, if i find out more i will let you know. mine is 1887 tho so there might be some differences. If you find anymore info please post as a reply to this so i can read it also. Hope that helps! Thanks in advance and happy shooting.
I have an identical shotgun. Same markings, date, laminated barrel, etc. but no gold emblem. I'm also interested in the value. Mine has a cracked stock.
