What kind of gun is this

[Blackbeard 44]

my wife was given this old gun from her father, nobody knows what it is or who makes it, one person told me it could possibly be Swedish?

I figured I would take a few pics and put it on here and see what the local highroad experts have to say

There is no name anywhere on it, there is a 4 didgit serial # maybe 123J on the frame on the right hand side just above the trigger guard, and than there is a very small GA just after it, see last 2 pics

possibly an O or a zero on the front part of the grip strap, other than that it doesnt have anything else

Any and all info is greatly appreciated

THANKS

I have to agree with nightlord40k, it looks to be a Belgian pinfire

Thanks alot for the info, I really do appreciate it

It's a french Lefaucheux M1858, cal. 12 mm pinfire, quite possibly made in Liege, Belgium. The proof mark right after the serial number looks to be German.

I just found another marking the cylinder

ELG = Belgian proof mark pretty much forever.

I'm guessing it's from the mid to later 1800's??

are they worth anything?
