It is probbly a 410 bore
Can you take it down, if so look carefully for proof marks. If you cannot make any out but it seems that there are some lay some cigarett paper over the marks and rub with the flat side of a carbon pencil to get a "negitive" impression then read the impression useing a mirror. From there you may be able to find the country it was made in. it looks like Belgan to me but the Spanish and Argentines copyed a lot of the Belgan designs, and in Argentina the gouchos liked to carry 410 bore sxs pistols.
Have you measured the chambers useing a caliper to know the diammiter and depth?
