Best Answer

This shotgun was modified from a French military musket, probably an 1853 style that was manufactured at the Arsenal at Mutzig. Imp ale is an abbreviation for Imperial, indicating the weapon was produced some time after 1852. Durring the period immediately proceeding the Franco Prussian War 1870-71, the French took large numbers of obsolete muskets and turned them into breach loading firearms. These were subsequently sold off to Belgian arms dealers after the French defeat by the Prussians in 1871. The Belgians modified them once again by making them into shotguns for the civilian market. You have one of those shotguns.
