Appears to be A French Pin-Fire.
I would wager it is made buy the same company that made the
pin fire revolvers in the mid 1800's for the French Military.
I do not know how to spell it right off hand but it is pronounced
something like LEFI - SHOW. They made some extremely fine pin-fire
fowling pieces too.

Too cool...I'd be getting a nice velvet lined box with a glass cover for display.  8)

I believe it's spelled 'Lefecheaux'. You might google it for more info.
