If there was another one of these on here at all I would be very surprised. I have searched and searched and cannot find anything identical.

Without having the gun in hand I believe what you have is a Pre war French made guild gun. Possible made on the Helice patented frame design. It is a box lock design. You can find some additional information if you remove the forend and barrels and inspect the barrel flats for proof marks. Here is a link to French proof marks.  https://www.shotguns.se/html/france.html
you can also Google Helice shotguns and Helico shotguns and find more information that will help you with your search.
