I'm picking up a nice Steyr hahn M1912 from a local antique shop friday. I was in last week and he asked me to ID a revolver for him. It was a 44 cal belgian copy that looked like the following

I did not see a date on the revolver, but it had seen better days. The timing was Way off, there were spots of surface rust, the hammer needed to be replaced, but most of the weapon was there.

It had the leige proofs on the cylinder, and other such markings from belgian makers. The condition was poor.
