Hi,
Interesting. Mid 19th C. Belgian Pin-fire 20 Shot revolver, incomplete? Not my field though.. |

It has to be a low pressure and short round, so I suggest made for a Flobert or gallery/saloon gun type round. I would also look at Velo-dog pistols.

Yes, Liege was 'specialized' in these multishot revolvers. 19th Century, Flobert (brim fire) system seems to be correct.
... I mean, only my opinion. Look for the Liege eliptical proof mark somewhere on the barrel, or on the cilinder canelure flats or even in its admission (bak) side. |

Interesting.
There does not seem to be a good way to hold it or take aim. Could it be for use in the slaughterhouse? One hand holding the barrel right up against the animals head while the other works the trigger. |

I guess it is a revolver 'only' missing its wooden stock.
