Revolver of the type “BULLDOG” derived from Royal Irish Constabulary, of Liège manufacture.
This revolver of pocket of which you do not tell me the gauge, has a barrel not grooved, a folding trigger without trigger guard, and of the squared crossettes in the shape of nozzle of corbin. The round and short barrel carries a top sight in half-moon.
