Red Hooker

Lower one is officially called Model 1902. Unofficially called Phillipine Model. Incorrectly called Alaskan model, due to large trigger guard, supposedly to accommodate use of gloves. There is almost no difference in amount of space in front of trigger guard , where gloved trigger finger would go. Trigger guard is larger DOWNWARD, to accommodate longer trigger. This gives more leverage to pull against heavy hammer spring used to fire harder service primers. Red

Velo= velocipede (bicycle).

Hate to burst your bubble, but what you have is, indeed, a Belgian knock-off. Westley Richards guns are always signed just that way, "Westley Richards", in full, no "W." It has English proofs because it was sold in England. If no Belgian proofs, probably imported as parts and assembled in "Old Blighty". Pics of proof marks?
