Need to I.D. This Hand Gun

dandyduct
This gun has stamped on top the barrel: W.Grah's Patent Liege Belgium.
It has a lion on its back paws and the stamp PV next to it. The cyl. has the same marking as well as the frame. The grips have the initials WG in a circle. The other stamps are under the grips with many different number sequences. There is a stamped number under the barrel of 6650.

What can I look for to identify this Belgian made gun? I was told it was a 7.62.



Thank you,
Mr. Dandy Duct

    Hi and welcome!

    Can you post some pictures of the revolver. If you have digital images or can make some but have no way to post them, contact me via the email icon at the top of this reply and I'll give you my direct email address so you can send them to me as straight email attachments. Then I'll post the images for you.

    Now back to your revolver ... Nagant Brothers had revolvers before and after the Russian 1895 Gas Check revolver and I think that this may be a commercial or police model, but really we need to be able to view the piece to be able to help you.

    a pic would realy help...
    i own 2 WILLIAM GRAH revolvers. one is a non gas-seal 7-shot .32-20 wcf and the other is a gas seal 7.62 nagant. both are ST. GEORGE models with the distictive logo on the grip panels. these guns typicly are designed for MILITARY or CONSTABULARY issue, and usualy sport lanyard rings, and extra saftey features. most were intended for export, and will be marked in english, french, or russian.

    well made, peek-into-history, quality guns. GRAH often steals his design elemts from FRANCOTTE, PRYSSE, and NAGANT patents. made in LIEGE, BELGUIM in a shop on RUE 22 in the downtown arms trade district.

    best regards, mike.
