The experts here have been great, and agreat help in identiifying a passing relatives firearms, and putting some wholesale / retail numbers on them. This one really stumps me. It is a cased, 6 shot, 3" barrel brass frame .32 Rimfire pistol. No apparent markings I can find anywhere. Any help? Thanks in advance!

  The little marks on rear of cylinder and left side of barrel are Birmingham, England proof marks, but it's not a Tranter or Webley.

  Unusual to have an integral brass barrel!
  
  An almost identical example is shown on page 219 of Boothroyd's "The Handgun" but with no loading gate, and labeled ".320 English solid frame rim-fire sheath trigger revolver."
