Got another for you guys to help me identify.

A friend of mine showed me this and wanted to know what it was. It looks somewhat like those British bulldog revolvers. I also think it's a rimfire of some sort.

Any Markings ?

[gjohnsoniv]

There were some, but I couldn't tell what they were even with a magnifying glass. I have a feeling though that it is a German made revolver.

I'm looking through my books now  May be a while

Looks somewhat similar to a Webley RIC, so you may be right thinking it's a Bulldog variant.

You have a better chance of being right than I do...

I guessing a Webley too. I'm not a Webley expert but, have seen Webley handguns similar to this.

A picture of the other side would be a blessing

Thank you

Here you go Baja, sorry about the delay.

The little catch holding tension on the knurled cylinder pin and the appliqué loading gate makes it a German bulldog copy.  the longer hex barrel and lanyard ring makes it a german copy of a Webley Irish.  Rimfire would be great.  it's mostly the spring and builtout loading gate plate that makes me think this is so.  Webley did NOT use that.

[gjohnsoniv]

Well I think German would be correct since the other one you guys helped me identify was German as well, and my friend bought both from the same person.

Kind of looks like a french d'armes de Sainte-Etienne they were made in both 8mm and 11mm that I know of.
