I looked at a 16ga LeMans this weekend and I have been trying to find some opinions on this gun.

The chambers are 29/16 (load 2.5 already)

Barrel Flats are marked:
Eagle over and "N"
Heart with a verticle line with several horizontal lines
Eagle over something illegible
Water Table:
Star over "P"
Lion (like Peugeot's)
P.V
Arrow with several horizontal lines before the point.
Over all it is in good shape for what I think to be a 60+ year old gun.
Any opinions?

It sounds like the proof might be Belgian but can't be sure. You really need to post pictures of this gun. Especially the proof marks.
