The ELG in oval is the long time standard Belgian proof mark.
Belgian guns were sold here by the literal shipload for many years, muzzle and breechloader. The nameless ones like this were priced below nearly anything else on the market.
 
ECLIPSE

It looks pretty much like an eclipse
the eclipse was a hardware gun, imported from belgium by e.c mecham in the late 1800 to mid 1900's
