My understanding is that Enders Royal Service shotguns were made by Cresent Fire Arms in Norwich Conn. Cresent was part of the H & D Folsom Arms Co. and Folsom Arms did import shotguns fron Belgian, so maybe I'm wrong. Assuming this gun was proofed for smokless powder the Belgian proof would be a standing lion with PV underneath. It should also note the guage (in this case 12) and the length of the chambers in millimeters, such as 12-70. U.S. made guns do not require a proof mark.
