THis is not the name of the shotgun, but kind of barrel, made in Belgium.
Acier means Steel, and Cockerill stands for "Cockerill-Sambre" the name of the steel maker.
Alot probs. depends on how gd the condition is. x
Unfortunately, no- other than an educated guess that you may have a Belgian shotgun. Acier is not a brand- it means steel. Many are marked Acier Cockerill- which is the company that made the steel.
The price for this gun 165000 euros if it has 1900 carving on it and in gold.That is the lowest price!
Acier Cockerill is not the gun manufacturer, but the maker of the steel in the barrels. It means the gun has fluid steel barrels and not damascus steel. It probably dates from no earlier than late 1890's through 1940. Cockerill Sambre is the major Belgian steel maker (equivalent to Krupp or Vickers)

This goes back to the beginning of the auto 5 production in 1903. John Cockerill was a British Industrialist whose company supplied high quality steel to Fabrique Nationale (FN) which was the maker of the A-5. The Cockerill name was first used on Browning barrels stamped "cockerill steel". The steel was a very strong quality that met the proofing requirements of guns that were shooting smokeless powder. Eventually the Cockerill name was dropped from the barrels and "special steel" was used instead. The FN guns that were not sold to Browning in the US, uses the barrel stamp of "acier special" which means special steel in the French language.
