It is a cheaper gun, built without a detent or "fly" in the lock which prevents the gun from inadvertently hitting the half cock notch when being fired.
It is also in very sad shape as far as the butt stock goes, and unless someone want to glue it back up for a conversation piece it is not worth bringing back into shootable condition.
" The interchangeable" stamp on the lock indicates that the gun was built during the period when Belgium as going whole hog industrial, and that lock would fit several different brands, such as Dumoulin, Nuemann Bros., Jannsen and Sons, just to name a few.
it is what is commonly called a "hardware store gun", built for export too the colonies
