Belgium

The Belgian colonial operation in the Congo was among the most brutal forms of colonial oppression in the world. Congolese were forced by the tens of thousands into slavery and were punished for disobedience to Belgian dictates by having their limbs hacked off. It was cruel and vindictive and engendered much hatred among the Congolese. This resulted in numerous uprisings against the Belgian authority, most with minimal success and massive retribution, which only served to inspire more to rebel.

Not soon, the Flemish and the Walloon politicians will never agree on a devision. (Brussels, francophone and Flemish communes, State Debts...)

The roots of the conflict in Belgium began in 1830 when French aristocrats took over the country. When the people came from France, there was no real cultural or political roots with the natives that already occupied the land.

The flemish are the people who speak flemish.

The live in the north of Belgium. Flemish is a dialect from Dutch. Most of it is the same but pronounced a bit different.

Since South of Belgium covers about 50%, accounting for the "language border", it should be close to 50%. However, I believe the ethymology estimate is approximately 60% Flemish and 40% Wallon. (note that "Walloons" should actually be referred to as "Wallons" to stay faithful to the French language)

The Benelux was formed as an economical union between Belguim, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Since these countries are also the co-founders of the European Community it has not so much economical significance anymore.

These days it is more seen as a cultural community.

More information is needed to identify what you have to be sure; However, it sounds like you have an Auto-5 Shotgun made in 1929. Auto-5's are semi-automatics. 81140 is a serial number, not the model. By variable choke, it's probably a poly choke device which hurts the value. While there are too many unanswered questions to determine value. Most Auto 5's from the 1920s with a poly choke in average condition usually fall between $250 and $400.

As with any firearm, it is not possible to accurately appraise a gun without seeing it. Condition, and original configuration will determine value. Other factors such as rarity of caliber or guage and higher grades have significant impact on value. Recommend that you see a local gun dealer for an appraisal. You can also do your own investigation by looking at other models being sold that are in the same condition as yours. Try the gunbroker.com or a periodical called "The Gun List" You can also reference the Blue Book of Gun Values which can be purchased on line at various retailers.
