European flintlock/percussion shotguns

I have several flintlock shotguns. One single barrel appears English,
one double barrel appears Belgian and one converted from flint to percussion appears Germanic. I also have two double barrel percussion
which appear European.

Are there any websites or other sources for info on these types of
shotguns, or for researching proofmarks, etc ??

Thanks
Paul

  Thanks for the reply. I was (am) reluctant to tie up space, etc. of others.
  
  The first is a 20 ga, double-barrel flintlock; barrels are 32 7/8" long; gun is 49" l.o.a. Locks are non-engraved, non-marked; rectangular sling swivels on stock and thimble; underside of stock carved in a duckbill shape; most notable feature is "Canon Tovaulle" in gold lettering on rib (the letter a has a dot over it similar to an umlaut).
  
  I do have pix but am not sure how to add to a message.
  
  Thanks
  Paul
