Ok, so I have seen these revolvers floating around on various auction sites and google searches leading to forum discussions, and I have 2. There are a multitude of different variants of constabulary type revolvers but I am focussing on this specific one. People have been guessing what they are with essentially no actual solid findings. 1 auction site back in June sold an example and listed it as a "Berlin Police Revolver circa. 1900." Would anyone actually know if this is possible, and is there is any documentation or photos?
Based on the number font, lanyard loop, and overall style of the pistol these were probably made by Simpson Suhl because when compared to Argentinian and Brazilian contract Nagants they share a lot of similarities in style. They definitely aren't Belgian, they are too high quality and the style and proof stamping is inconsistent with antique Belgian pistols.
Kind of a shot in the dark but if anyone has any information it is greatly appreciated.
