Hi! My late grandfather left this behind, but I have not been able to find much out about it. I have attached a picture for your review.
I know that:
-it is .38 caliber.
-Uses .38 long or short colt ammunition.
-It has a hexagon shaped barrel.
-It has a mark Crown over Crown over U. I found that a Crown over U signifies a German inspection proof.
-It is also marked with 330 on the barrel, in the chamber, under the grips and on the metal frame.
-It also has 64 marked in the chamber and under the grips.

You can't imbed pictures directly into the forum. You need to upload them to a photo website like photobucket.com and post the images or links here.

It's a copy of the British Webley RIC revolver.
And it does appear to have an 8 sided octagon barrel.

The Webley RIC has a round barrel.
