Wilmot Gun Co was a trade name sold in the US, but the actual manufacturer was Henri Pieper or Anciens Etablissments Pieper(1877-1957) in Belgium. With damascus barrels and external hammers, the gun was probably made c 1885-1900.
This would have been made by H. Pieper or Anciens Etablissments Pieper in Leige, Belgium, sometime between 1890 and 1914 for Shapleigh Hardware Stores. Value will range from $150 if it is still useable to maybe $250 if it is still like-new.
If that "small figure of a man?" is a knight in armor, you probably have a Bayard manufactured by Henri Pieper or Anciens Etablissments Pieper in Belgium.

Inexpensive. No real history to speak of.
Eclipse Gun Company is a name found on Belgian manufactured double barrels from around 1900-1916. The manufacturer was Henri Pieper. Please note that the Damascus barrels were meant for BLACK POWDER shotshells, and should not be fired with modern day ammo.
Pieper was a Belgian gun maker, so it was most likely made in Belgium. Look for the Belgian black powder proof marks.
