Inherited Revolver with papers...Please help identify
Received a few years ago from a dear uncle. I have little knowledge of firearms, but I know I can find help here. I took a close-up of the mark and there are also several number 7's in various places. Would that make it gun number 7? I hope I didn't add too many pic's. Thanks everyone.
Looks very similar to one of the many types of British Bulldog pistol, they were called British but i think they were Belgian.
Edit, this pistol has Belgian proof marks.
I was thinking Nagant Freres, Belgium.
1895 model, I think (?), possibly a commercial production piece.
A friend took a guess of it maybe Belgian Congo Police?
Sorry but i don't know, but the pistol is definitely Belgian. The conjoined AE is a Belgian inspection mark.by KarenFC
Hi,
Have about the same.
Maker unknown, made in Belgium and probable copy in .380 of the RIC Webley.
What a very interesting pistol with capture documents. I wonder if the uncle had it nickel plated after the war?
Wouldn't the plating leach into the markings? I don't know.
It looks like it was stamped after plating.
I believe it is a Belgian pistol made for the Belgian colonies IE: Belgian Congo. I have one in a 38 Belgian caliber with the same dimensions as that of a 38 Special and more than likely a black powder loading. BILL
