makes since that the dutch gun would have belgian proofs...probably one of a job shop order placed by a dutch retailer...
leige job shops would make gun parts sets for inventory and then stamp barrels to fill quantity orders from retailers all over europe, including germany...
also remember seeing a gun with leige proofs and swedish retailer barrel stamps...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Yes, it does have proofmarks and they are Belgian If you could post one or the other side more clearly we might be able to provide more data. It does have 65mm chambers and was proofed before 1922 http://www.shotguns.se/html/belgium.htmlMike A couple of more pics. Has 26 1/2" barrels, rebounding hammers.

There is a Danish shotgun but not a sxs, the Sjogren.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Maybe because they're neighbours of great gun-making countries, as Canada and Mexico are with the United States.
No one ever heard of British and European doubles when I was growing up, admittedly in a rural area. It was all the American classics.

how come no doubles gun from those places? Probably due to the fact those areas were largely dominated by other ruling factions - gun manufacturing and ownership is generally discouraged by Dictator-types.

I just googled "dutch shotgun" I am now scarred for life. Thanks for not sharing that 
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
