Ancion and Co. London

I recently inherited a gun from my grandmother. She is 87 years old, and claims that it belonged to her father. That would put it sometime in the early 1900's. It is a side-by-side double-barrel muzzleloading shotgun. It has what appears to be a hand carved ramrod, that is stored just below the barrels. It is a caplock ignition system. It has etchings on the trigger guard, and on the piece of metal that connects the barrels. The only writing that I can find on the gun is also written on the metal between the barrels, and in "fancy" lettering it says "Ancion and Co. London" I would like any information available on this gun. I would like to know the year it was made and where it was made. I have no intention of selling it, but I would like to know the approximate value of it.

Thanks for any or all information available.
