Kind of a typical folding trigger Saturday Nite Special (aka Suicide Special).
No way of knowing the manufacturer, or even the country of origin without a hands-on examination.
If it's European, it should have proof marks which will tell where it was made, but, lacking any manufacturer's I.D., could've been made by any one of hundreds of small gun makers.
If it has no proof marks, it was probably made in the U.S. But, again, it could've been made by any one of dozens of manufacturers, large and small, who made cheap guns like this.
We'd need to know all of the writings and proof marks on it to even make an educated guess.0 -
It's most likely a copy of a 1878 British Bulldog revolver. Versions of this gun can be seen in my 2004 copy of The Illustrate Book of Guns (given to me this last Xmas, on sale at Borders) on pages 18, 87, and 93. Guns originated with Webley in the UK but were copied all over the world including the US. This one most likely is Belgian.

Typical Belgian "cottage industry" product; at least a half dozen currently listed Gun Broker auctions. Almost certainly will have the ELG in an oval Liege proofmark on cylinder, and if there's a crown on top of oval, made after 1891. Many examples still listed 1911 ALFA catalog. Early ones mostly .22 and .32, but 6.35mm common later. 0
