It's a very fine Belgian gun, made by Neumann Brothers, back in the 30's. Someone had fired it with an obstruction in the left barrel and burst it. believe it or not, I bought the gun for $20!
One of our ex not to be named members used to buy lots of nice doubles from London auction houses. Where if the gun was out of proof or not correct chambering would cut holes in the barrels and then sell off the often nice walnut stocked and often nicely engraved side by side shotguns for anything from GBP10 to GBP100.
They still may do this.
Some of them if cuitablke would make fantastic starts for some great projects.
