My brother was given this smoothbore after completing a job for a client. He knows my love for everything black power and gave it to me when he moved. It's in slightly rough shape and I. Having trouble identifying the make/model
It has a "B & W.C Biddle Phila Lock and the barrel has either ELG or EIG makers mark along with a stamped 32. The top of the barrel says "fine twist". Those are the only markings on the entire piece. It has a slightly stamped ornate trigger guard as seen in the pictures. Any help identifying this piece is greatly appreciated!! 20240110_140138.jpg20240110_140147.jpg20240110_140217.jpg20240110_140207.jpg20240110_140252.jpg20240110_140141.jpg
 
A nice Belgian shotgun and it looks like it may be a good shooter too. I believe you'll find the name on the lock plate is that of a hardware store or a sporting goods store stateside who would have been the importer and retailer.
