Look on the bottom of the barrels and top of the "water table" (the part the barrels come down onto) for an oval with the letters E L G. That would be the Belgian (Liege) proof mark and if present would mean the gun was imported from Belgium. Many very high quality guns were made in that country, but thousands of tons of junk originated there also, and a lot of it was sold here with double shotguns sold as utility guns around 1900 for as little as $3-5.
