Help Identifying this old CONTINENTAL pocket revolver?


MuayThaiJJ

Recommended Posts

Make: Continental

Model: Pocket Revolver

Caliber: unmarked

 

Info: Along the top of the barrel all is says is Continental and then there is the number 2 after it. on the buttom of the grip its stamped 4850. It looks like there may have been some markings on the right side of the frame in front of the cylinder but its illegible. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks!

This looks to be the same model. Cylinder has flutes on this one, but essentially the same revolver. I can say yours is a rimfire with that firing pin shape.
