To get a very meaningful answer, you will need to post a bunch of good photos in the firearms research sub forum. The more there is to work with, the better the answers you will get.

 

All I could add without pic's is that it will be belgium made from the mark you described.

George Laloux "Trade gun" in made Liege, Belgium around the turn of the century for Belgian African colonies. The Colonial overlords did not want to trust the "Kafirs" with real modern rifles so provided the natives with flintlock smoothbores for hunting and protection. Stoger sold these guns in their catalog in the late 50s. Dixie Gunworks bought out the left-over parts and stock in the early 70s
