It sounds like a small Belgium self defence gun made by the 10's of thousands between possibly 1860 and the very early 1900's. The name on top would be the retailer, not the maker. These were made and sold throughout Europe, because of the novelty many found them self into WWII duffel bags.The crown over EL is actually a Crown over ELG. With clear photo of all the markings more information may be forthcoming. Because of the number of these guns made they are not rare and value is low. Even in excellent condition it would be hard to get 200 out of it.
