That 'T' looks more like an inspectors mark. Can't find a 'date' stamp anywhere in those pics.
The 'JM' is a barrel makers mark and is probably Joseph and Jacques MORAY in Nessonvaux near Liege.
Looks like you got yourself a great little game gun.

The D = 65/18.7 is chamber dimensions. Chamber was 65 mm long with a diameter just ahead of the rim seat of 18.7 mm. The P 1K238.6 was weight of the barrels only as proofed. If those digital scales can be switched to metric you can check to see if they still weigh that or at least very close. If the bores have been honed extensively or otherwise enlarged they will weigh light. If the scales don't convert you will have to convert the kilograms to lbs.

According to the barrel measurement, it's a 12 gauge gun with 2.5" chambers. Damn, it's lightweight too, I want it!

Steve: 18.7mm = .736". The standard U.S. 16g chamber was .745". The markings just forward of the flats should have bore in mm over muzzle dimensions if made after 1910. What Treblig said http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/art...acques%20gb.htm
