    You may get some feedback but the photos are very poor. You may wish to place this on a table outside for better light. NH

    The R with the crown above it is a Belgian proof mark, the Y is a year code i think. It's much earlier than WW2 though.

    They were called Bulldog. There are hundreds of models, all different, made by local armourers in the region of Liège (Luttich). They are most of the time copies of patented existing models.
    The most used caliber was .380 black powder.
    Search on Internet pictures with: Belgian bulldog revolvers. You 'll probably see yours.
    Cheers.
