Anyone know what this is? Belgian side by side?

I went to a civil war gun show yesterday and stumbled upon this shotgun. Usually collect 1900-1950s guns but this had a price tag on it for 150$ and it’s a Great Wall hanger. I have a “small museum of sorts” in my house and like to put a small description of each gun or item I have hanging up… but this doesn’t have many markings that I can see. I do know it’s a Belgian percussion side by side. If anyone knows a rough year, or what the gun is called. I would appreciate anymore info on it!
Thank you

Beautiful gun, I think you made a great buy for $150, even if it never does anything but hang on the wall or is a safe queen.

Thank you, it’ll be up on the wall.
Like I said I just like to put descriptions on the wall with the gun and I can’t find anything out about it sadly… been trying to find anything haha

Do you have any other photos of the wrist or the underside of the barrel? Turn of the century a lot of these were imported from Belgium, and elsewhere. They would be marked on state side or whatever country they went to and be rebranded by a number of retailers once here. A more common example most people are familiar with would be J.C Higgins , Sears, revelation, JC Penney etc . They did not manufacturer the firearms they sold but they were rebranded from the manufacturer and sold under their proprietary name.

There is some minor putting and I need to clean/wipe down the barrels still because I don’t see any markings anywhere on the gun. Maybe once I take some WD40 and some super light gauge steel wool something will show itself
