It appears to have Belgian proof marks, but I'm going by a book. Value would probably be under $200, as it seems to be an early 20th century gun that screams, "nail me up on the wall". Don't shoot it before you have a gunsmith take a look at it.
 
Following the signs to me difficult to understand, one that creates a weapon from 1672 to 1810.1853 - Present. The other 1846 - Present. I am not proficient in these cases. I should be grateful for any infomaciju. If it is not clearly understood patterns picture it can add another.
 
Look on the lock plates for a makers name. Many times the name is very close to a well known English gun maker. But the spelling is slightly different than the original English maker. The Belgians made thousands of cheaply made guns at the turn of the century (1900), many are hanging on walls today.
 
Belgian-made, exposed hammer, underlever side by side double. The rollmark on the rib seems to imply that it is a 10 gauge. Definitely pre-1915, it is missing the forearm and seems to be in only fair condition, and it might be proofed for black powder. As much as I hate to say it, I agree that this one should probably be a wall-hanger unless you have some reason to put money into it. Value $100 or so for curio.
