What is it?
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO POST A PICTURE? PLEASE? Without the picture, my request for info is kind of useless....
OK, I saw this at a garage sale the other day. WTH? I looks to be a palm gun of sorts....? The end screws off and it looks like you insert a single round in it, possibly a .32? Then with the black knob in your palm, you compress it and it would appear to fire at that point. I advised the guy to put it away, and let me find out what I can about it. So how about it? Does anyone have a clue? Is it legal? Should I forget that I saw it? Should I buy it?
Thanks GREATLY in advance!!

I'm trying to research this for a friend. He called it a skeleton gun. It says on it that it was maid by the Bauer Firearms Corp. of Fraser Michigan. It is a 410 / 3" .22 LR combo. I'm not much of a gun expert but thought I could find some info on line about it. I've come up empty handed until I came across the Gun Broker website. I thought there may be an enthusiast that would be able to shed some light on it. I think he's realy looking to see what the value of it is. Are they rare since no one at the local gun shows seem to have ever seen one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.[img]C:\Documents and Settings\MORRIS\My Documents\Gunbroker pic[/img]

Inexpensive, probably Belgian copy of a (British) Adams revolver, from mid-19th century. Might shoot the .450 Adams, which Fiochi (Italian) was still making a few years ago. 0 -
Might not be Belgian, but Spanish? Most of the Belgian made revolvers are found with distinctive, legally mandated Belgian proofmarks. 0 -
does it have st. entienne or something similar on it, about 11.3 mm 0 -
Cannot find any markings on it and no proofs either. 0 -
Great patina. Don't try to clean it up! 0 -

Almost certainly Belgian. Open the loading gate, rotate the cylinder, and look for the ELG in an oval Liege proofmark between two chambers.
Many like this in .44-40 caliber were imported by Sears and others, usually marked "Frontier Army" as late as 1914.0 -
Belgian proofs would be:"Star", AL,"Crown", E&LG both in an oval, R. You might want to researach it at www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge...belge%20gb.htm. 0 -
