T. Dumoulin was in operation from 1890 to 1914. The crowned ELG in oval proofmark shows the gun was made post 1892. This appears to be a less expensive type of export gun typically wholesaled by a company like Folsom, and retailed at the local Hardware/Drygoods store. It appears to have the period fluid, or decarbonized steel barrels found on lower cost Belgian doubles of the period. If the gun was in fact made in 1914, (which I doubt, the number appears to be the serial number to me) then this would have been one of the last guns made by the company, as the Germans overran Liege in early August, 1914. 10-08-14, and 08-10-14 both postdate the fall of Liege, on August seventh.
To me, the barrels appear to have been shortened, so the tilted bead may simply be a poor re-installation. The various Dumoulins made guns spanning the entire scope of grades and quality. I ran into a nicely engraved hammergun with Damascus barrels last year. This gun was one of the most basic models.
