      ARGHHHH ... not PISTOL, it's a REVOLVER!!! (no offense)

      And yes, it is a Lefaucheux pattern pinfire revolver. The basic model with or without folding trigger was manufactured in a great many calibers everywhere in Europe and especially in Belgium. They were churned out by the thousands by factories, small shops and state armories with little to no markings. This one somewhat resembles a 5mm Arendt of Liège but is not. Are there any markings?

          Terminology varies by country and by time period.

              Yes I know, no offense! (Which I have also added to the post) It's just one of those things that gets to me every time, in my world a pistol is either single shot or magazine fed. It's how I've been taught.

                    I believe that is a Leige, Belgium proof mark, Ray

                      Spot on, it's the Liege proof.

                        This ia a cheap belgium revolver from the end of XIXth century.
                        LG is the proofmark as said before, and it is not a velo or bull dog. This particular trigger is for holding the gub in the pocket
                        There is one almost similar here
