I have a Belgian damascus barrel shotgun my grandfather bought in Minnesota a LONG time ago. It is 16 ga w/ 2 1/2 inch chambers, doublr hammers/double triggers, with a English style stock with a horn buttplate and splinter forend. The name Jules Gervais is on the left lock and the name A. Anvers is on the right lock. It is tight, and nicely engraved and what little brown finish is left is under the forend. I have made and shot 2 1/2 " blackpowder shells in it, and is sweet to shoot. I'm certain a majority of Belgian gun records were lost in two world wars, but am hopeful that some knowledgeable shotgun person out there can give me a clue as to where it was actually made and approximately what year. Thanks, F G Farrell
