I have the same gun, I belive it was either made by the Spencer Rifle co or Crescent Arms
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.

A Damascus twist steel double barrel shotgun is an antique shotgun made by layering iron and steel and welding them together. This kind of shotgun is worth approximately $3,000 depending on the condition of the weapon.
I own a Greenough dimascase forged barrel shotgun. I'm not familar with the stampted lam.
it is all swirly
Those markings suggest manufacture between 1900-1920. sales@countrygunsmith.net
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.
Are you sure it doesn't say Genuine Armory Steel? That would make it a product of Crescent Fire Arms. There should be more markings if they haven't worn off.
What is a Falcon Arms double barrel Hammerlock shotgun 20646 made with belgium laminated steel worth?
Genuine Armory Steel was a mark used by Crescent Firearms, 1893-1930, and also by Meriden Fire Arms, 1905-1915. The phrase doesn't really mean anything except that the barrels are not laminated steel.
I have a Rodgers Arms Co. Double barrel 12 gauge shot gun. The patten date stamped in frame under the barrels Nov 25' 90 with March 12' 95 stamped below the first. The barrels are made of Damascus steel. Their guns are very similar to the ones manufactured by Stevens / Savage just a few years later. I have also had a hard time finding any information about the company.
