Is there a source available to identify an old revolver that has no visible brand? I'm not very experienced in old revolvers, but I think this is a pocket revolver, ivory grips, very different trigger style, best way to decsribe it is a folding lever that swings up towards the muzzle. Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Don

  It sounds like a Belgium Pin Fire, or a varyation of some sort. Please post pictures, it's the only way we can help. Read the sticky at the top of the page.

  dolphindon1,
  
  Welcome to the Gunbroker Forums!
  
  I think all of us really enjoy seeing what other members come up with for mystery firearms.
  
  The fastest method used to help you is to take some sharp, properly lit photographs of the revolver and post them in your thread. There should be overalls of each side accompanied by sharp details. We are extremely fortunate to have a large number of members with knowledge of older firearms and reference libraries to add certainty.
  
  Use the 'Sticky' above this forum to help with posting pictures, as mentioned already.
  
  I'm looking forward to seeing what you have.
  
  Best.

  dolphindon1,
  
  I'm NOT one of the experts, but is this the pistol you're inquiring about? Mine has no manufacturer on piece either, but I did include a close-up of the only markings.
  
  
  
  45-70 for size reference
  
  
  Hope it helped.
