Default Belgian Mystery

While it certainly wouldn't qualify as an "Other Fine Double", I would appreciate any information, estimations or guesses on this recent acquisition.

It was billed as a 28 gauge Belgian Muzzle-loading SxS, in good condition. Upon arrival I found the condition (for what it is) to be better than good, approaching excellent. I started researching the gun, and hit a brick wall.

Here is what I know;
Left barrel stamped: ARMAF LIEGEOISE BELGIQUE 17XX
Right barrel stamped: MADE IN BELGIUM

Belgian proof marks under barrel indicate 1810 ->; 1898-1924; G- for inspector Charlier Josef 1928-1959

Barrel is 32" including breech plugs and hooks.

Muzzle mics at .507, making it smaller than 28 ga (0.550) Doing the math makes it a 36 gauge.

Again, any information or thoughts would be appreciated.
