    I tried a google image search, incase you don't know you can just type google images, then click the little camera button and drag and drop a photo....

    Incorrect:

    That is clearly an AR15 or possibly an AK47.…

    Made in Leige Belgium before 1910 ,black powder only ,12C might be the bore diameter?
    The above is going from the proof marks I recognise.
    I would describe it as a Belgian Peabody martini .

    You’re just making it difficult, use a Dremmel to engrave Greener on the side serial #1 and 12 g. Done
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Ha. I had to move my dremmel to one side when I took the pics......Thought about putting something like Purdy on the action....
