Post a pick of the whole thing next to a quarter.

Then post a pic of the chambers.
Currently guessing some early Belgian shit.

No quarter on me but 16oz sprite cap for scale

>>33615784
Doubtful; any cartridge conversions for that wouldn't have the loading gate mounted to the frame like this.

It was a purpose built cartridge gun of some kind, and judging by the cylinder a rim or center fire one.

Probably a .22 of some kind judging by the size ratio of actual cylinder diameter to the indexing teeth or whatever they're called.

Action was marked with this

Do you have the hammer and mainspring assemblies?
Is it DA or SAO?

Having a size comparison, I'm leaning back towards some unknown Belgian brand.
Maybe French. They made a thousand of the same fucking gun with a few small adjustments (kinda like ARs today) in the late 1800's/early 1900's.

Okay, so definitely not .22 and probably (though still potentially) not rimfire.

Most likely it's own proprietary cartridge (or retarded ass thing like .32 S&W)
>>33615852
I'll try and find some shit related to this.

>>33615839
Interesting actually, thanks for sharing friend

Da

Okay, so let me preface this with the following: you're never gonna figure out what this is.

With that said, gunmakers in liege made shitloads of one offs.
This appears to be someone's bulldog revolver era service revolver attempt.
Like I said though, I have no idea what caliber it is although you could probably make your own with enough tinkering and measuring.
Good luck, enjoy your oddball special snowflake revolver.

One last question though: it appears to be missing the hammer.
Am I wrong in assuming this?

I don't know if my brother in law has it

Found it

>>33616105
Well I'll be fucked.

Still though, a cartridge fed Kerr?
I stand by it being a one off, or a small run at best.

The frame has the loading gate and not the cylinder, which also makes it likely that it's something someone used as a basis for a prototype.

>>33616160
That's what I'm looking for now, these were originally cap and ball revolvers. Maybe this one has been modified or a newer version?

Led me to this.

That frame being stamped with Bengoechea helped.

>>33616260
Interesting.
.44 CF.

I Wondered what that said.

Early large frame single action Spanish military revolver. Kerr revolvers were issued to the Spanish army, navy and colonial militia during the Spanish American War. The revolver was manufactured by Fabrica de Durango, as indicated by markings on the left side of the frame. The revolver was issued to the Spanish Navy, as indicated by several Oviedo arsenal proofs, "A Anchor O" in an oval. Several other Spanish proofs are stamped on the frame and cylinder. The revolver was originally manufactured in percussion configuration as "Modelo 1862", and later it was converted to a percussion system, hence the second date, "1873" in the model designation. Five shot cylinder. Barrel length: 5.75 inches. Complete the lanyard ring. CONDITION: Overall in fine condition with about 78% of thin brown finish mixed with light patina. No pitting of any kind. One piece wooden grip is in good condition with some light handling marks. There is a chip to the wooden grip, on its left, upper part. Crisp action. Excellent bore and chambers. Scarce early Spanish military revolver! (Ref. "Geschichte und Technik der europaischen Militarrevolver" by Rolf H. Muller, pp. 1166-1169).
