It all started with Weatherby pumps, then Remington, now, Winchester model 12. It rains here, alot, so why bother with a finish, just oil. This one was built in 1914, the wood and choke is later.

got to love the model 12's. I wish I had a dollar for every shell I ever shot thru a Poly choke....
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

That ole' Winnie looks like she could tell some stories.
I love that look. Well used, well cared for.

I recognize that first gun, but the name eludes me right now. le'me look around a bit. I've got an identification thanks to a French hunter who owns a 10 gauge from the same gunmaker: It seems to be a "Joseph Saive". I ask myself if that Joseph Saive is linked to the famous gun engineer Dieudonn� Joseph Saive ? Dieudonn� Joseph Saive (1889�1973) was a Belgian small arms designer who designed the FN Model 1949[1] and the FN FAL. He became the head firearms developer of Fabrique Nationale after the death of John Browning. After John Browning's death, Saive continued with and finished the design started by Browning on the GP-35 pistol, commonly known as the Browning Hi-Power. It was the first 9 mm handgun to utilize a staggered-column magazine with a single feed point allowing a total of thirteen rounds to be loaded without an oversized grip or having the magazine protruding from below the grip.

castnblast - A lot of drilling and combo guns have their shotgun barrels regulated to the rifle barrel for use with a slug. Ever try slugs out of your combo barrel?

I think it's a Francotte. Wild guess, but just look at it! Barrel extension into standing breech, with Greener-type cross- bolt, and sideclips, if you please! That's a lot of class for a boxlock, which is why I think Francotte, or maybe Dumoulin. Seems too well engineered to simply be a Belgian "trade gun."

When in doubt, go one size larger.

Seems too well engineered to simply be a Belgian "trade gun." In fact it is a quite common package for an old school shotgun from Liege. The same with my "bayard" that was known as a basic non custom / non fancy gun. Belgian's gunsmithing good old and lost time . I can confirm the hammerless is a Joseph Saive.
