I have a 12 ga hammer gun to clean up for a widow. Barrels are marked laminated Steel Belgium. It shows Damascus under the forearm and has a swamp rib. Bores appear pitted pretty bad but I haven't cleaned them yet. Serial #1518. Looks like a mid level gun to me. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Pictures would be helpful.

One has to consider some of those Belgian guns' barrels were struck pretty lightly, to get them to carry and swing as nicely as they do. So pitting could be a real issue.

Henry Arms Co. was a tradename used on guns manufactured by Pieper. We can proved more information with in focus high resolution full size images of every mark on the action and barrel flats. It very likely has 65mm = 2 1/2" chambers.

Thanks for all the replies! Skeettx's information enabled me to give her a bit of background. The gun is home and for sale for waaay to much money.
