The letters ELG, usually inside an oval, are the marking of the proof house of Belgium- by law, firearms made in Belgium had to go the the govt. facility to be test fired, and marked as "proofed". In the late 1800s, early 1900s, gunmaking was a major industry for Belgium. Thousands of firearms were made there, by hundreds of makers, and sold through every venue you could imagine- Sears sold quite a few for $10 or less. There are no specific production records for many of the makers (if they even kept them, they were lost in the war). Many were copies of other well known guns, with names intended to "borrow" fame of high quality guns- such as Barker- for the Parker gun Company, W. Richards- for the Westley Richards gun company, etc.
