It's a Warnant system "Flobert" 90% of which were made in Belgium. If no markings are visible, remove the barrel and look for the ELG in an oval Liege proofmark on underside.

P. B. Schop isn't listed on the "littlegun" site but a "google" search finds a couple similar made by him, which had the ELG in oval proof. Check the other side of breech.

The Warnant system is a bit stronger than the true Flobert that used only the massive hammer as a breech block, but not much, as this type usually fails at the hinge points where the screw holes are, so even if you find usable .32 rimfire rounds, don't fire it!
