Help identify an old-ass rifle
A coworker gave me some pictures today of a rifle he somehow acquired. Nobody knows what it is.

Pics:










This is where my signature goes.

Leige Belgian black powder proofed ~1893, is one of the markings.


Arc.

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.

At first glance I thought Flobert.
