It is a 16ga x 40-40 Maynard, near as I can tell, damascus, underlever, Lefaucheaux action, covered in Belgian proofs...

Age??? somewhere near turn of the last century....

Curious, for a 'cheap' gun, the stock has a really nice brass oval inlay, and it has 'cast-off'........ sure fits nice....

And shoots.............
