Hi I recently won this gun at auction. I haven't really been able to find much about the maker as yet what I have figured out is the gun was made in 1957 has 30" barrels choked at .021" and .031" .724" bores weighs just on 7Ib with a straight hand stock with 15" LOP to a recoil pad its a BLNE

The engraving is a bit different sorry for the poor picture of the action I haven't had a chance to take a better picture. It appears to be a reasonable gun feels good is tight and in good condition. I won this for around $450 US any idea on the maker?

Too, the tubes were made by Jean Delcour-Dupon per the Crown over D just ahead of the flats.

I don’t know much about Belgian makers, but if you can use lead shot I can't think of anything better for $450. The only alternative with semblance of handling and quality are older Spanish BLg from manufacturers like: AyA, Ugartechea or Swedish doubles sold by Simpson Ltd.

Drew I read one of you posts on Shotgun world to work out the DOB for this gun
I have discovered the stock is taking in a lot of linseed oil I've put 4 coats on so far and it is disappearing in a few hours
