Fish Gun?

[Dimis]

what is this?

 

[22LRFan]

The North American Arms mini-revolver's predecessor.

 

[General Geoff]

That is one strange looking revolver. I kinda like it.

 

[Oyeboten]

I like it too...


Looks like it nestles in the web of one's Thumb.


.32 Cal? 5 shot?

I'd guess Belgian...late 1880s...early 1890s...

 

[Mp7]

looks like belgian "Bicyclist-Revolver" with a custom grip.

Neat. Would be great as a 1-shot, too!

 

[heron]

Looks like a mistake, to me . . .

 

[Dimis]

still havent found any info on it the Belgian Bicyclist Revolver turned up nothing when i googled

 

[rondog]

That's a strange one alright....but this one is disturbing!

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

rondog, that made my day.

that revolver does look potentially painful to shoot

mp7 is right on w this. The bicycle revolver is more commonly known as a "velodog".

The bicycle revolver is more commonly known as a "velodog".

Only if it were chambered for the 5.5mm Velo Dog cartridge.

Bicycle revolvers came in several other calibers as well. S&W even made some in American calibers, and they were certainly not Velo Dogs.
