AFAIK, the Kassnar should be an Omega - a better choice than a 100-year-old gun (the Heritage) that is most likely short-chambered (shorter than 2-3/4" fired length).

(Note: an unfired 2-3/4" shell will chamber in a 2-1/2" chamber, but when fired will expand the crimp past the chamber throat into the barrel, raising pressures beyond what a gun as old as that can handle safely.)

If you unsnap the Heritage's forend & unhinge the barrel, you can inspect the hidden metal for an "ELG" - sure proof it was made in Belgium in the early 1900's.
