A friend just got this 22LR. Two barrels (side by side), two triggers. No letters, no s/n, nothing..other than the nbr "33" under the barrel (see 2nd pic). Material seems to be steel. Grips are plastic, with a dog on one side, and a castle on the other. I have not seen the pistol, only these "better than nothing" pics.

Any idea what pistol is this?

Regards,
Ignacio

I have never seen anything quite like it, but I don't think it is a basement workshop job. It does look like some of the double barrel pistols made in South America, mostly Brazil, for sale to the natives who weren't allowed to own guns that would fire more than two shots. FWIW, it may be the perspective but those barrels look a lot bigger than .22.

Sure, that's the famous Hound and Castle model 33UPE(ugliest pistol ever). LOL, no idea really, but very interesting piece. I don't see the "33".

Can you see any proofmarks on the bottoms of the chambers?

[Ignacio49]

I do not see any proofmarks...

I also posted in another forum - this seems to be a "Castelo" gun made in Brasil. See following link:

Thank you, it's been driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

I initally was thinking Inca/Peru/etc., but got nowhere searching on it.

The 1st thing I thought was the liberator, you know the stamped steel gun from WWII, I knew it wasn't but it does bear resemblance.

The gun in this link says .320 on the barrel (if i'm not mistaken), but the barrel work looks very similar to the gun in your pics. It could be the same gun with different grips i.e. home-made grips? or a different make or model to that gun. Who knows what those crazy Brazilians are up to?

also: the trigger is different...maybe possible someone found the barrels/ action and made it into a working gun, or did a home style repair of the gun?
