Had a customer show me this today, wanted to know of I know what kind of ammo it takes. Seems like a piece of junk, has a folding trigger double action only. Maybe like a 32 cal.

that piece of "junk" could be worth $500 to $1000+ especially given its condition.

Look forward to the tidal wave of messages offering you a few hundred bucks.

It's quality is great given it was a hand-made firearm most likely dating back to late 1800s, and the turn of the century at the most recent.

Gen 2's are gross. Finger grooves or I'm not interested in your baby hands glock.
 
They sure where proud to stamp the marks in that thing
Looks good to me for something made possible 125+ years ago Bet it works as intended.
I love the old manufactured stuff.
 
Can you believe we'd be pissing on Belgian gun makers? LOL. That was the quality of most Belgian shops back in the day. Then Fah Breek came along with JMB and we all drool over Belgian this and Belgian that. and Belgian waffles, of course.

Blue ones are the best. I could eat those for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

There's a thread here somewhere about deer hunters wanting to shoot dogs that chase deer. I bet one of them will pay a hefty premium.

I guess the modern version of that would be the Smith 43C

There's also the 351PD, a Ti framed .22 magnum. I think I saw a performance center version once.
