"Insignia" is a Belgian proof mark. If you don't get an answer here, ask over on www.doublegunshop.com/BBS Personally I have never heard of this brand, although Crescents and the H.D. Folsum Hardware Co. are well known.

What is the action type? What kind of steel are the barrels? Chamber length?

Yes here is a picture of it on the bottom left.

If this gun lacks the E.C. proof, it may have been proofed only for black powder. That would argue an earlier manufacture than the '20s, I think. Some American "Belgian" shotguns only had Belgian barrels, which were highly regarded in the 19th and early 20th centuries (even some very high-grade American and British shotguns used them). But I think that "final proof" mark means the gun was completed in Belgium.

We'd need pictures to know what quality of gun it is. Many of these are just farmers' "hardware store"guns; what shotgun collectors call "JABC"s (stands for "Just Another Belgian Clunker"). But they kept many of our ancestors and their livestock safe, not a small thing.

Most folks just couldn't afford a Winchester or a Remington. So they went to the mail order catalog or the hardware store and got a shotgun like yours, and took care of it and used it to survive. A very good thing.

After some more research looks like they are worth 100-200$ And sold for 7$ in stores like Sears in the early 1900's.
