A friend just got this little pistol in .320
It's post 1894 Belgian made. That's as much as I could gather. If anyone knows any more info...
Thanks

I believe they call it a garrucha pistol there might be a makers mark
under the grips.

thank you.YES it looks like the pictures on the net!!.. What should i see there for maker?. I believe its an antique but registered as prohib. caliber is .320 european. Should be at least restricted no? I will measure the barrel as well but i think its 5".

if you can find a makers mark you may be able to date the gun and if your really lucky they may have gone bankrupt or changed the company's name before 1898.

you can look at some of thees to see what i mean
