Nice looking gun
Rockdoc, well done smile
I do not see a date mark, so before 1922 or so
I do see two inspector marks, so that bears investigation
I feel the bird on the canon is an important clue.

Guild gun. Not a bad piece, wood is a little plain. Many of these guns have very abrupt forcing cones that can accentuate recoil, can benefit from lengthening and also opening of tight chokes.

The Eagle is the mark of Joseph Cap, the barrel maker.
We need ultra close-up images of every mark on the action flats, barrel flats, and just forward of the barrel flats.
Inspector's marks can not be used to date a Belgian gun.

Interesting post. Here's a photo of my 16 gauge French proofed guild gun. There seems to be remarkable similarity.

It's hard to get a good picture, but on the left barrel it says: 173 choke 172
Under the 173 it says 183

Right barrel says : choke 183, above the 183 it says 176
Below the 183, it says 12805
