    The proof marks are German. Very likely it dates to the late 19th Century.

    Although it could have been made in Belgium, for sale in Germany. The Belgian made revolvers are much more common, than German made ones.

    It looks Belgium to me.

    Saturday night must have been his favorite day. A couple of the S&W look interesting. Hopefully you got the lot cheap.

    Have you removed the grips to see if there is anything stamped under them?

    There are 2 Ruby Type pistols, (with long grips), in your first photo. They were made after the First World War, for commercial sale. Because of this and 20 round magazine capacity. They would have much more value to collectors. They were sold under the name of "Plus Ultra". Hopefully they weren't bubbaed by the previous owner. As that would harm their value to a collector. Below is a photo of a Plus Ultra.

    German proofs, possible Belgian origin. Copy of the Royal Irish Constabulary revolver- scaled down, safety added. A lot of them were made in caliber .320 European (see also .32 Short Colt) Smaller cartridge than .32 S&W.

    Not a "Plus Ultra", unfortunately. Royal's were made by Zulaica, a different Spanish manufacturer. Original mags only hold 12 rounds, not 20.

    Triple K, makes repo mags 12 round mags for the Royal's.
