Kind of amazes me that there is so much interest over a gun so cheap that neither the maker nor the dealer would put his name or trademark on it.

In the eye of the beholder.....
Please tell me you bought it!!!!
JamisJockey, no, I did not buy it.
It's still at the pawn shop.
The guy behind the counter looked at the tag on it just before I photographed it and said, "Wow, this thing's been here a looooong time."
They're asking $250.
I really don't have room in the gun budget for a .32 Belgian revolver.
You want it? I can put you in contact with the seller.
I'm pretty sure you could talk them down as it's been there a "loooooong time."

Do I want it? Yes. Can I buy it, unfortunately, no. Thanks, though.

Hi everyone! This is my first post on any forum, so I hope this works...
The closest thing I can find to this thing, judging by the weird toe of the grip and the two screws kinda overlapping just below the safety, is an "F.A."
It was made by Francisco Arizmendi of Eibar, who also made the charmingly named "F.A.G."
No way to be sure, since I can't find an exact match though... Guns of a similar config. were made by Auguste Francotte and J.B. Ronge Fils, both of Liege.
Hope this helps!

Gary In Pa,
The second revolver that you pictured possibly is not an Arminus but possibly is the Pickert Revolver (made by same company as the Arminus - Friedrich Pickert - in the Arminus Waffenfabrick). It is distinguished from the Arminus because of its half round, half octagonal barrel. It was chambered in 7.54 mm, possibly in other calibers, or that would be my guess. See 2005 Standard Catalog of Firearms, page 888.
Best regards,
GlennB
