Rifle ID (Acier Roechling)

I just purchased a Belgian made rifle which I was told was a Dumoulin. Upon inspecting the rifle I found Dumoulin was not stamped on the piece anywhere. There is stamped W.C.H. Made in Belgium. Acier Roechling.

Would someone on here be able to provide me with information as to this rifle? I searched Acier Roechling with no results. Thanks.

    I don't know who W.C.H. is but Acier Roechling just means it was made out of Roechling brand steel (acier.)

    You got pictures?

    I can't tell you anything about the rifle or who made it but I am pretty sure that "Acier Roechling" is a German-Belgium term for Hot Fired Hard Metal or something similar. It may be a term used for Case Hardening.

    Thanks.
