Can't identify this old revolver... Any ideas?
A friend of mine brought this buy and neither one of us know anything about it. Does it look familiar to anyone?

Belgian made pocket revolver. They date from the 1890's to 1914, when the Germans invaded and occupied Belgium during the First World War.
Cute little buggers, lot of the later ones were chambered for the .25 Auto cartridge. Not usually big buck items. More a conversation piece then anything else. Watch out for the mainspring their really fragile.0 -
Thanks for the quick help. I did put a .25 auto in there and it looked like a good fit. 0 -

Kevin,
I believe that you have been given the correct answer. To add to what has been said, your friend's gun looks an awfel lot like this German ARMINIUS revolver that is chambered for .32:

I recall seeing one that had a trapdoor & a space inside of the handgrip for a stipper clipful of spare ammo.[;)] All of these guns remind me of the "Velodog" revolvers, and the KOLB BABY revolvers. I would love to have some of them in my collection.0
