Hello Fernando.
I'd also say Belgian, unless there are proof marks that say otherwise.
The two rods would be ramrods, at one time. I can't see very well what I'm looking at, but is the rod held in by a lug at the muzzle? Normally, this lug would be not too pronounced, and the ramrod could be sprung past it.
In this case, the lug looks a bit bigger, as if it has had some more metal attached. Originally, the tip of the ramrod would be of larger diemeter, thus making it easier to get a hold of.
Do the locks have half and full cocking positions?
Probably the one that is full-cocked would fire, whilst the half-cocked one would be relatively "safe"!
Are both barrels smooth-bored? Sometimes one is rifled and of a different calibre to the other.
Happy New Year from Canada!
Richard.
