Anyone recognize this manufacturers mark?

It is a Belgian weapon punched by Georges Laloux: the mark GL in the wings of a bee is that of George Laloux.
House was founded in 1836.

Thank you for the info and pointing me in the right direction. The weapon I have is a 93 cal flintlock shotgun made by GL. Looks like it was made in the1890s as an African trade gun. I really appreciate the help.

They aren't circa 1800. A lot of those late 19th and even early 20th century Belgian guns get listed by all sorts of places as 18th century or early 19th century.

At the end of the 19th century, with other arms manufacturers from Liège, Adolphe Laloux gave birth to the Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre, and his son, Georges, succeeded him. Doctor of Law like his father, Georges Laloux will be the administrator of the Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre for more than half a century.

He joined the company in 1896 and became a member of the Board of Directors in 1899. He played an active role in the development of the company, which was then owned by the German company Ludwig Loewe & Cie, the majority shareholder.
