Its stamped ELG*. It's a .22 caliber, single shot, very heavy barrel. Can somebody tell me who the maker is? Model? or approximate value.

  Any other stamps?
  Under the barrel?
  On the stock?
  Under the trigger guard/buttplate?

  Here is a site I found for this stamp. I don't know whether or not these sites are any help or not. Don't worry, I am sure some of the guys on here will find out what you need.

  ELG is the main Belgian proof mark seen on all guns made there for a great many years.
  
  Your gun is a Flobert "Rolling Block." That does not mean it was made by Flobert because there were many Belgian companies cranking out large numbers of these for sale all over the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Price then was probably less than a Stevens.
  
  Do not be misled by the term "rolling block" it is nowhere near as strong as even the smallest of the Remingtons
