well, it seem that no one wants to say that you have a real bargain so I will. If your shotgun has barrels 26" or longer and has barrel wall thickness of .025 or greater you at home free!

If you ever get around to taking the side plates off I would be curious to see if it had Francotte marks on the inside. I have a sidelock like yours and the quality inside take a back seat to no one.
