Thanks! I hadn't gotten around to chasing down the name yet. That confirms that it is Liege manufactured.

I have had this revolver for quite a few years, but have only started working on the "Spanish and Belgian Copies of the No. 3" section of my "Russian Revolvers" book a few weeks ago.
If anyone else has a Spanish or Belgian copy revolver or pictures I would love to see them.
