I can take more or different pictures if they would be helpful.Acknowledgments/about the editor/our cover gun I'll let you see the rest in the pictures. So, can anyone tell us more about this little gun? It's about 3.5 inches long, folding trigger, pearl grips. Heck, I'm not even finding dates they manufactured. Which matches with origins in Belgium, but my googling is finding my mostly long guns and a few larger revolvers by Francotte. I'm hoping y'all can help us ID this little guy. It was brought back from Belgium by my grandfather after WWII. This afternoon, grandma brought down this little guy for us to check out. My husband and I are down to visit family for the holidays and were talking firearms and such, as you do.
But now I have a quandry for the masses out there that know so much more than I. For the past 6 months I haven't really had a spare moment. The good news is my PhD should be complete within a month (knock on wood). Thanks again to all those who helped in my hunting. The company produced no less that 150 revolver styles by the end of the 1800s. thus it is more likely a later revolver in the same style, but intended for personal defense, not dogs.Īuguste Francotte was based in Liege, and produced firearms beginning in 1810 and was most active in the late 1800s and early 1900s. My grandmother's gun does not have this elongation. However, a true velodog revolver had an elongated cylinder, chambered for 5.5mm center fire rounds. They were designed to fit comfortably in a gentleman's pocket while riding a bike, thus the folding trigger and enclosed hammer. They were used to scare off dogs that tried to chase and attack bicyclists. The name is a combination of the words velocipede (old term for bicycle) and dog. This basic style is referred to as a velodogpistol. I've had fun learning about this little pistol. Thanks so much to everyone who sent notes here and on Facebook.
