A coworker gave me some pictures today of a rifle he somehow acquired. Nobody knows what it is.

Looks like a Flobert Pub or Parlor Rifle.

1. It's Belgian - the proof marks tell you - ELG = Épreuve Liége.

2. The FL = Flobert.

3. The 6m/m is the calibre.

Made before 1891.

Zimmerstuetzen/parlour gun.
