Henri Piper is best known for his innovated small automatic pistol designs but in fact also produced revolvers and shotguns. I believe the firm may still be in business, it was purchased by Krieghoff in the mid 1940's. Alas, in the condition you described, your shotgun would best serve hanging on the wall. Value would be nil except for parts.

Laminated steel is a variation of Damascus, without the good looks. I strongly recommend against trying to put that gun in firing condition.
