As above, it looks to me to be a Valmet lion which went on to be the Tikka 412, and which can now be had as a Marocchi "FinnClassic" after Tikka sold the machinery to some Italians. As i remember, the Finns actually started with the old Remington 32 machinery. I would consider that a fairly desirable bit of history and to have some significant collectors value. You may also be able to get combination and double gun barrels to fit (i'm not real sure on this - i'll defer to someone with greater expertise). I think the design heritage is shared with Kreighoff shotguns.
