With no markings or provenance at all, the origins of this revolver are a mystery. Its features all point to the 1880s or 1890s, and someone clearly spent a lot of time working on it – but we don’t know who. What makes it interesting is the very unusual operating mechanism. It is similar to a “zig-zag” system like the 1878 Mauser or Webley-Fosbery, but with angled splines on the cylinder instead of grooves.
The knob is a cocking system (phrasing)

That bore height, sheesh. I wonder how the kick was.
Came to say this. I hope the rounds weren’t very powerful, or that thing’s a wrist-breaker.
As old as it is, it probably has a pretty weak sound by today’s standard. Like an old .32 S&W or something.
I love mysterious pieces like these!
The purpose might be for shooting from a cover. Or for specific person with some hand condition.
When you throw it, it will fly back to you.
Aha, now I can stop metaphorically shooting myself in the foot and move on to literally shooting myself in the foot. Excellent.
That right angle tho
Is it for when you need to shoot a bunch of people down below you?
