Left handed revolver with safety
Hello everybody,
I just purchased an old revolver that is very interesting. The fellow that I purchased it from stated that be believed it was MFG during WWII. There are no markings on this pistol other than the following. There is a serial number on the right side of the frame under the cylinder and a symbol on the grips. It is chambered in 38s&w long and also has a safety switch. He stated that he had this pistol for close to 30 years. and did not find any information on the revolver. SO here I am trying to see you guys could possibly help me identify this revolver.

It looks like one of the Belgian Bulldog pocket pistols from about 100 years ago. Bob

Looking at the grips - molded gutta-percha grips with initials in a highly stylized logo were very popular in 1880s & 90s. The letters seem to be AGC, ACC, GAC or CAC.

You show the L'Elclair, made by Garate, Anitua, y Cia; Eibar, Spain.
Caliber of the one shown as Zhuk 1065 is 8mm Lebel.

Any Idea what it may be worth?

Why do you state it is left handed?

Because of the way the cylinder swings out - would be holding it in your left hand and loading with your right.

The French military 1892 revolver swung out to the right also. Not sure if it was for cavalry use (hold reigns and pistol in left hand and load with right) or just because the French like to be different.
