Looking for information on a shotgun

A friend of mine has an overunder shotgun that has only Eig Brescia Italy stamped on the barrel looking for any information.

Eig is the company that built the shotgun. Bresica is the city that Eig was/is located in. Don't know if they're still around. I have an old 1851 Navy revolver replica made by them.

Almost forgot. If you take off the forearm there should be proof marks, bore markings and possibly some other information.
