hello every one
looking to decipher this marking on a old Belgium drilling shotgun

any ideas what this means or where to look for info

thanks guys

Is that the only proof mark on it?
It looks like a British crown and the nearest thing I can find is a Birmingham Black Powder proof for shotguns, 1868-1925.

there's more on it under the barrels this is a drilling with belgium markings
i found that one also . I'm sure the lettering on it has a meaning but that is where I'm stumped .

I think you're gonna have to spend some time surfin!

What calibres is it?

After looking hard, I think it might be a Belgian crown? or maybe one proof mark stamped on top of another??

but its a 16 GA, over 360 express

dbl hammer with gold inlay
