    Can anyone tell me where this was made and a value on it. it was advertised as a 22, but it looks more like a 25 centerfire. If I can get the photos to upload. i don't know what I'm doing wrong, i've tried Photobucket and Webshots and can't get either to load [V] Any suggestions [?]DSCF0081.jpg?t=1194733218[img][/img]DSCF0082.jpg?t=1194733376[img][/img]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb32/rclinkdcs/DSCF0083.jpg?t=1194733563

    Sorry, I missed the other two. Your revolver is definitely Belgian. The "ELG" is the Liege proofmark used after 1893. I belive it's what known as a "Velo Dog", used by cyclists to fend off attacking dogs. These were made in the hundreds of thousands and values run around $100 as curiosities. It should be around .25 caliber or about 6mm.

    "Open Frame", cartridge revolvers aren't particularly common. In the one picture I can see, yours appears to be a "Galand" type. Made by/for the Charles F. Galand Co. of Paris & Leige.

    If it's a centerfire? Probably chambered for the 5.5mm Velo-Dog cartridge.

    To the best of my knowledge there is not much collector demand=value, for these revolvers in the U.S. More a conversation piece/novelty, then a big buck item.

    Glad to help. You just weren't putting the correct link between the image brackets.
