No. But it looks really cool! :o Do you know what caliber it is? Are there any distinguishing marks (other than the scroll work)?

Looks like a toy gun. Made by Mattle?

It looks like a 19th century British Bulldog or one of it's clones.

I thought that was the M-16 ;D.

Whatever it is I'd like two.  Looks like they would be great for 'End of Trail'

Need WAY more details but I'd go with CJS3, British Bulldog or maybe a Trantor. Can you post photo's or sketches of any markings or logo's on it?

Check under the grips for info too, or the face/back of the cylinder.

Tnx all...
By the way I'm from Portugal, and this gun belonged to a greatgreatfather of mine and someone nice tip me about this forum.
I'll check for more information (measures and particular marks or signs on the gun)
Some here sugested it could be a Belgium British Bulldog.

Rats, second picture did not come out  :(
Off topic, but interesting thought. Notice the hammer spur on one revolver is more upright than the other ? I have noticed that British pistols such as Webley, and Trantor tend to use the more upswept design, while american guns tend toward the more horizontal positioning. Could this indicate differances in manipulating the hammer ? IE Americans using the tip of the thumb to draw the hammer back while the Brits hooked the thumb around the spur and pushed it back and down ? As I said, just a thought, maybe material for a new thread, regional differances in fire arms manipulation and design.
