Old Pistol ID.
Hi
Here,s an old pistol iv been offered it is obviously a single shot and it holds a .22LR perfect, but im not sure what it is, i think it is Belgium but cant make out any markings.
i think around 1890,s 1900 ish, Ned might be the boy to know he is a mine of info lol.

Flobert single shot parlour pistol 19th century I would say.
Could it be a 6mm Flobert instead of a .22 cal? Nearly the same bore, but not the same power. It also looks like it started its life as a Flobert rifle, bur was cut down at one point, and they made another (pistol)grip for it. Late 19th century, thats for sure.
c'est voilà

Hi
Thank you for the answer to my question i think i might go for it as it would make a nice addition to my collection and it is not to much money at the moment, It,s one i havent seen before.

Aditional information nd warning!
this weapon was designed to fire 6mm ammunition flobert
(the original bullet is propelled by the primer not the gunpowder(low pressure))
accepts ammunition .22 but if you want to try ,starting with .22 short.
pressure of .22LR could damage the gun or cause any accident.
nice piece.
