Interesting markings. Compressed Steel with an eagle belonged to Joseph Cape. I have seen his barrels on other Forgeron guns. If I am not mistaken the date code is for 1935.

I can not find anything on the patent holder, Charles Leve in any of my usual Belgian or French sources.

However, I did find the patent. It relates to new type of extractor / ejector. Leve was from Cannes, France. He filed a protective patent in the USA.

He also filed his patents in France, Germany, Denmark and Belgium.
