It might be a Belgium "Le Matt" Hope this helps.

It is very similar in overall design, but it's missing the bottom barrel.

Re: what kind of weapon is this I think it is civil war

After looking at the cylinder in the picture a little more I'm wondering if it might be a pinfire. I'm seeing a loading gate and ejector rod.


Any more pictures?
