Please help identify and value single barrel, bolt action shotgun.
Bore is 9mm, barrel is 21 1/2 inch long. The only visible markings are hand engraved into the right hand side of the stock in a circular arrangement, "EJECTOR" on the upper and "DLAOSE" on the lower (this last not clear) with a motiff in the middle similar to an elaborate letter 'j' over a letter 'c'. Also has number stamped in barrel and bolt 6884. The gun was originally aquired in Casablanca or Morocco on its way to French
Algiers where it was a small game provider for 40 years.It has been in OZ for forty years and our best guess at age is 120 years.
Ammunition as follows from front of can. Still have about 30 cartridges in excellent condition.
MF Bien Faire et le Faire Savoir
50 CARTOUCHES
DOUBLE CHARGE
CALIBRE 9 mm
Manufacture Francaise D'Armes Et Cycles De Saint-Etienne
Appreciate any help.

rimfire or centerfire?
Any kind of crest? you may have to take the stock off to find more markings.

I believe what u have is a 9mm flobert garden gun
these were put for sale by century international arms in the 90's
they were in fair to good shape and sold for 25-40dollars canadian.only good for garden pests like snakes rats mice,etc.

All the Floberts I've seen had a Trapdoor type action, named for Flobert. Ozzy has a bolt action. Cheers.. Bushrod
