I'm new to this board but here goes. I recently aquired this from my grandfathers estate and am very curious about it. Anyone know where I could find some info about it? I googled H & AK it with no success. Thanks

'Pistols of the World' 1968 Blair has a photo just like yours but identifies it only as late 19th or early 20th century from Liege Belgium.Perhaps you could find something in a search for gun makers of Liege.

Was just wondering if "H & AK" could be "H & A...K...". The H & A standing for Hopkins & Allen. Just a thought.

Thanks for some info. I'll have to check those leads out.

if anyone else has any info that might help I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Is there anything at all on the top or bottom of the barrel? It's definitely a rimfire, but if it was European, it would have one or more proofs somewhere on it, and if it's US-made, it would likely have a trade-name somewhere on the barrel.

i'll check the barrell tonight. from what I remember, the only markings were on the handle. Maybe I missed something.
