I have this old SxS and not familiar enough with this brand name to make it out - a little help would be appreciated

Fine old European double wall hanger. Fluid steel barrels, well-engraved action, some light pitting in both barrels. Tight action, working hammers, great triggers, really excellent walnut stock and forearm with a pattern of silver nail decorations within the checkering. I bought this maybe 30 years ago because I had never seen anything like it; never tried to shoot it -- and if you want to, it's between you, your gunsmith and your Maker. I suspect this migrated to America in some GI's duffel bag at the end of WWII, probably looted from a Belgian farmhouse. Must be 100 years old or older. Pretty thing.

Thats amazing - I thought someone had installed all of those little brads in this one in recent years as a decoration. Very good. If you don't mind, how long is the barrel on that one? Mine is 20". Do you think someone sawed it off or could it be what they call a Coach Gun?
