I think we can eliminate the Belgian possibility. It has all three Birmingham proofs, View, Provisional, and final Black Powder proof. Those, along with the rough bore markings and NOT FOR BALL are consistent with the Birmingham markings of the 1875-1887 period.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
