Your photos don't show if it's a single or double barrel? Also cartridge/shell it's chambered for?
If it's a single with a rifled barrel my WAG is that it's a European made target pistol, with set triggers. Similar pistols are shown in the 1911 Adolf Frank catalog, chambered for the 22 rimfire cartridge.
EDIT #1, I agree with HRF, it does look like high quality German gunsmithing, (noticed the swamped barrel). As he noted it might have been "cleaned" to such an extent that the markings have been removed. Or if it was made prior to 1891, ( which is possible do to it's physical appearance ), proof marks weren't mandatory in Germany.0 -
No markings, single barrel, and it is bigger than a .22, maybe something like a .32. It doesn't say. Thanks quote:Originally posted by rufe-snow

It appears to have been heavily polished, but if you remove the barrel there may be German proofs and caliber markings under breech end. 0 -
Gunsmith special if no proofs.
Rather long action for a single shot and grip angle looks shotgun.
Nice wood.0 -
This may look famililar:

Not really though overall styling is similar. Listed gun is a fine drop block. Subject gun is top break. Cheese head gun screws not used, action very long to likely accommodate pushrod, hammerless, shotgun action.
Nice piece but listed gun is a fine gun in a different class.0
