This specimen most likely manufactured in 1950 which  places it in the post-WWII production peak when Husqvarna was turning out large numbers of practical hunting doubles.
The Model 615 / 615AS is part of Husqvarna’s later SxS evolution:

• Boxlock design (Anson & Deeley type)
• Ejector version (the “AS” typically indicates ejectors vs extractors)
• Built for durability over ornament
• Often supplied with tight chokes (Full/Modified is typical)

These were working guns—very popular with Scandinavian farmers and hunters. This is a classic upland / general hunting configuration.“100% blue on barrels” it was used but kept in excellent storage.
Husqvarna was founded in 1689 in Huskvarna, Sweden, originally a royal arms factory producing muskets for the Swedish military . It transitioned in 19th–20th century to sporting rifles and shotguns and produced firearms from the 1800s through the 1960s–70s . It became known for:

• Solid engineering
• Affordable, rugged sporting guns
• Less ornate than British doubles, but very functional

The firearms division ceased around 1970 and production rights and tooling were sold.  Later the company shifted focus and today is known for:

• Chainsaws
• Outdoor power equipment
• Lawn & garden machinery
• Construction tools

They’re now one of the largest outdoor equipment manufacturers in the world.
During our operations abroad in the 1960s we were able to acquire a large number of firearms parts from this fine manufacturer.
