    Can you help indentify make and model of this gun?

    My grandfather passed this on to me, can anyone identify the make/model/year?

    Hammerless Nickel Plated 38 Remington is my guess.
    Thanks!

    are there any markings on the barrel-proof marks or names, does the grip have a figure or design anywhere on it? Is there a latch to unlock the cylinder so it can swing out or do you have to pull the cylinder pin out and remove the cylinder to load/unload it, more pics would help

    Looks like an H&R Vest Pocket Safety Revolver. Most likely a .32. Don't think Remington made any DA revolvers!

    We've all seen all the Remington revolvers they made, and this one isn't. Likely a Belgian made copy of a generalized revolver, probably post WW I.

    Might be an "OWL HEAD" Iver Johnson...If there's a Owl Head on those pretty black grips...

    Looks like an octagonal barrel. I don't think IJ made any with octagonal barrels. If it's round, then disregard, but it doesn't look like an owl head to me.
