It's what called a "Transitional Revolver". They were made in England and in the European Countries from about the 1830's to the 1850's. Since England & Belgium proved their guns, it most likely was made in one of the other countries of continental Europe.
Unfortunately besides not having any markings, it appears to have been "cleaned"/refinished some time in the recent past. This is a turn off to most collectors. The prefer a original, crummy, dirty, patinaed finish then a old gun that has been extensively cleaned.0
