Any marks on the barrel flats? It looks to be a Belgian thumblever Lefaucheaux Action possibly with a modification like that of Brun of Paris with a double bite lockup. Some of the German versions by H. Barella and Valentin Christoph Schilling were 28 bore/14mm, were common, and some were rifled. Might have been similar to the Hochwild cartridge. What are the initials on the standing breech?

Kind Regards,
