I have one a lot like it in 16ga....Mine has a little less engraving and no checkering on the stocks cheeks; also no cheek piece but most I seen do have the cheek piece....mine does have the stock screw although I have seen some without the screw...I think they elininated the screw on the later produced guns ...Mine is relatively old as it does not have one of the Belgian Date code letters on the barrel flats that were used after 1923...Figure it was made in the teens....
Seems like they made this action in 4 or 5 grades as I have seen this type of action with just border engraving all the way up to full coverage [like this one] my 16 looks like one or two grades below this one....BTW mine has no makers marks ...all the rest I have seen have all been Bayards....
