The engraving pattern is very similar to an Ideal Grade L.C. Smith.

Certainly uncommon. Someone who comes along to clay shoot I go to for blackpowder enthusiast sometimes brings a double side by side with full octagonal barrels. If I recall it is in 16 bore and I think French. That is the only other one I have come across. Lagopus.....

I didn't post this as "a thing of beauty and a joy to behold". I posted it as something decidedly different!
BTW: The barrels are fluid steel not damascus. I personally have never seen another example so I thought I'd share it with everyone. Love it or hate it it's definitely different.
Jim Duly noted Jim, now this gun truly qualifies under that Vic Venters post Hand Made........with chisels!

Pictures from the next time you see it would be a great addition to the knowledge here on the site....

Kinda neat, too. Hearkens back to the old Northwest guns.
