Starter pistol but I doubt a starter pistol would have a front blade.

It's weird... the cylinder swings up and from the opposite side.
I'm sure someone will know :D
 
It's called a Bulldog!!

Very little info on this firearm.

FRT is #26612, but has no info relating to the manufacture etc....

Good luck....

A quick search on Google shows the British Bulldog, I'm sure its an antique!
 
It is not necessarily an antique - we need a date code from it.

Pull the cylinder out and use a magnifying glass - or binoculars turned backwards to view the back edge of the cylinder in different lights.

There is also a mark ahead of the cylinder - is that the one you read?

You need to check it over closer - there are more marking - likely single letter or digit.
 
The crown over "ELG" proof means post-1893 and Belgian - really doubt you'd be able to prove it's pre-1898 and an antique. So if it's 32 - she's prohib.
 
Identifying old Belgian proofed revolver

If I read this correctly, the * over P would be the mark for a Proof Controller by the name of Delcommune Adolphe, who was in position from 1952 to 1960.

If it were an antique, the calibre could be contested - as it may not be a .32 Short Colt, Long Colt or SW Short or Long. If you accurately measure the bore, you may find it .317 instead of .313. This would make it a 320 revolver - which is identifiably different cartridge.

It surely not being an antique anyways, this is irrelevant in this case.
 
WOW, The stuff i learn on this site. I was just a little curious about it because its registered as "unknown" & i figured someone must know! Thanx for all your help everybody!!
