The barrel legend translates as "bumblebee stamp", I have no clue as to the "A".
My unmentionable double smoothbore hammer gun has similar back action locks - which makes for a more slender wand than a boxlock or most sidelocks.

check the proof marks on the barrels
I’ll gonna say that “Bourdon A Etampes” is Butterfly at Etampes. Etampes is now part of metropolitan Parts.The barrel legend translates as "bumblebee stamp", I have no clue as to the "A".

Thank you and what a beautiful shotgun you have there.
No proof marks, unfortunately
