The gun was made by Henri Pieper, a major Belgian maker:

Bayard is a registered trademark of Pieper. They did not really start using it until his son, Nicholas took over the business. The Bayard trademark was around for 50+ years. During that time, many guns were produced. Some low end, some very nice guns.

This is a case of judging the gun, not the name. From the sound of it, this one sounds like a wall hanger. There are many Pieper guns around. Find a better example and you will be happy you did.
