Old Gun Identification

apd1015
My father passed away many years ago and this was in his collection. Any idea of who made it, when it was made or what it is the value?

I thought it might be a Rast & Gasser but not sure. There is a crown with an R stamped on the barrel.

Thanks for the help. Links are below.

    It's a Belgian made, (circa late 19th Century?), military/police type revolver. There were a number of different revolver manufacturers in Belgium during this time frame. Not all of them marked their products with their name. Many times all you see are the required Belgian Proof Marks, as yours has. These were inexpensive revolvers chambered for black powder cartridges and have little collector demand/interest for military handgun collectors in the U.S.

    Thanks,

    That may explain the number 55 and 58 stamped on it.
