I dunno, but if you asked Ceasefire they'd probably tell you it's an "assault weapon!" 
But seriously, I'd pose the question to the C&R types over on gunboards.com. I am sure one of them will be able to help you.

Whoa!!!!!! I have no idea, but I want one. 
Ask over on The High Road, or even better The Firing Line forums. I have seen pictures of some really wild guns over there that I thought would stump all the experts only to learn something new from some people that know all about old guns.
For instance, did you know the French used to make a shotgun that fired electrically up until the 1950s? The gun had no firing pin and the shell was set off by a spark.

thanks for the help jason
Maaan, I wish there was more to go on. What caliber is it? Is the number 22 after FL the caliber?
What are the markings? All I can partially see is the FL 22 if that is what it says.

It is a .22lr. Thats pretty much it...
In the very first pic you can actually see a casing stuck in the base of the barrel. It has been there since I've had it.

So then it might not be a .22 LR and it could be just a .22 Long instead?

So they are saying its called a Flobert. I Googled it and I guess thats what it is??? Not worth much if indeed thats what it is.
Ah, Flobert, the weakest of the .22s.
Whoa! I don't think it is all that cheap. I just saw this on Gunbroker http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=79402369

Could it be a "Parlor Gun"?

Cant seem to find to much on Parlor guns
Parlor, or parlour guns are usually what some of the Floberts were called IIRC. You may see them used mentioned interchangably.
Edit: Think the shooting games at carnivals and those little .22 cases they used to use many years ago. That is parlor shooting if I understand correctly.

That is what I have read also. They also were made as pistols, which I think are more commonly called Parlor Guns.
