Need help with HDR

I’m having an issue with HDR in a game. There seems to be some color banding (I believe that’s what it’s called) happening. I have the exact same game on my Xbox Series X and it looks fine there, but on my PC running SteamOS it looks like this — even with the exact same picture settings on the TV.

Need help identifying my great-grandfather’s vintage shotgun from Thailand

Greetings from Thailand!
My father recently discovered an old firearm that belonged to his grandfather (my great-grandfather). The design is quite intriguing, but I don’t have much expertise in this area.

At first glance, it looks to me like a single-barrel break-action flintlock, but it doesn't have a pan or a frizzen(?). This leads me to believe it might use a slightly more "modern" ignition system or mechanism, perhaps from the late 1800s to early 1900s.

We also found the original firearm license, but unfortunately, it doesn't specify the year of issue. It only mentions that my great-grandfather registered it when he was 47 years old. He might have owned it long before that, possibly registering it only when new laws required him to do so. The document is quite vague, listing no manufacturer or model name, simply categorizing it as a "Shotgun."

I’m tried my best to capture some of the engraved designs on the gun even though how faint it may be

I suspect there's a high probability that this was locally manufactured here in Thailand. If that's the case, I’m not expecting to find a specific maker, but I’m curious if it’s a "clone" or based on a specific European or American design. Even a hint in direction would be greatly appreciated!

If it turns out to be unidentifiable, that’s perfectly fine—I’m just happy to share a piece of my family heritage with you all.
Thanks in advance for your help!
