Hoss 999 Posted December 16, 2018 Picked this up st gun show today. No msker on it. .32 centerfire. Folding trigger, Double/single action. Has a crown over M A Proof mark, and eitherva C or G offset from proofmark. Seller thought it was made in France, but was not sure. He said he shot it once. Gun appears to function perfectly. I’m a sucker for old pocket pistols, so could not resist for $180! correction. Not 32, I tried to load a 32SW, 2 big. Maybe 7MM or something? anybody know anything about it?

That one is very similar. Mine has a knurled screw head on left side for disassembly, octagonal barrel, and a post sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trailrider #896 1,537 Posted December 17, 2018 There were a lot of these "bulldog" DA only revolvers made in Great Britain and Belgium. The quality (and hence the safety) of these guns varied from excellent to less safe than a kid's toy cap pistol. My late father brought one back after WWII. It was Belgian, and lacked a few parts. I was able to find enough to have it function, but have never attempted to shoot it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sedalia Dave 10,139 Posted December 17, 2018 Do a chamber cast and figure out the cartridge it takes, may help with the ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sawhorse Kid 706 Posted December 17, 2018 Given the octagon barrel , it looks to be a Belgian made Bulldog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
