Interesting and Unique Belgian Bullpup Style Prototype Over/Under 10 Gauge Shotgun

This is a very interesting shotgun as the stock covers almost the entire barreled receiver. The barrels start 1/8 of an inch past the forend of the stock and curve downward through the wrist and end 1 3/4 inches before the butt end of the stock. There is a swiveling breechblock with a latch that forms part of the butt. There is an aluminum solid rib with a bead front sight screwed to the top of the stock. The stock is composed of two nicely figured walnut slabs that have been inletted to fit over the barreled receiver. The two pieces are secured together with machine screws. Most of the screws come from the left side and there are escutcheons on the right side. The barrels are choked .070/.075 and have 3 inch chambers with an extractor. The length of pull is 15 1/8 inches. There is a tapped hole on the right side of the barrels and a post of the breechblock for an absent swiveling hook. There is an "E" double stamped on the left side of the breechblock and a "10" stamped on the bottom of the breechblock.

Good, the metal components have a relatively bright appearance with some areas of discoloration and some minor oxidation. The wood is also good with scattered scratches, dings, absent chips and some cracks. Mechanically fine.
