I have a 6 shot 22 cal short revolver with 2" barrel, tip up model, double action, auto ejectors, folding trigger, fixed sights, possible circa 1924-1952 that has the name Sable Baby and Made in Belgium on it, does anyone have any information as to its worth and or the actual manufacturer of this revolver?

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

    I have seen the Sable in old catalogs that were as recent as the late 1960s.

    Pistols of the World under 'Sable Baby' '
    Name(Sable Baby)...Maker/entry/origin(unknown Belgium) type(Revolver) Caliber Chambering(.22RF) Length in.(4.80) Weight oz(not listed) Barrel in(2.04) Rifling(not given) Cartridge Cap(6) Remarks:folding trigger

    If Pistols of the World does not know, I sure don't! Saw one in VG condition go for $110 in Jan this year at auction. Likely has a PV and Lion proof marks (Belgian) Frequently called a Sable Baby Hammerless, not to be confused with the American Baby Hammerless revolvers made in Philly. If timing is good, and metal looks good, would still limit firing to CB caps- many of the old revolvers were made for low pressure 22s (black powder neighborhood of pressures). Run across them on line when searching for Baby Hammerless revolvers.

    Edit: Here is one for sale here-Auction # 97674214
