Ok here is another shotgun I have been trying to get info on and value it. See what you think it’s in great shape. Again trying to find out what year it is or a time period.

JABC (just another Belgian clunker). Little value. You'd get better information on your collection if you posted these in the General Discussion forum above at the top of the page...Geo

Nice little gun, would have been made for short black powder shells, made in 1900 - 1914ish'. Seem to be fewer in that gauge
Made by SPI group, in Belgium -Jansen,Neumann,Francotte.
I have a Neumann Bros version, also Damascus, owned by my father, probably bought in the '20s, but very short stock, not cut.
The chrome on yours is not likely to be original.....
Somewhat worn (lever to left), too bad about the.... decor....
Value? Mine priceless due to history, without that maybe $300 - $500?? Polished and plated.....dunno.

From the 1912 SD&G catalog --



The .410-bore shell was introduced in North America by Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. circa 1914 --



prior to that these little guns were made for the .44XL shot cartridge.
