Could use some pics on this one to help us out.

It seems to have been a British Service Pistol in the late 1800's. Even with the small grip size, back then, the grips weren't very big. Because of the steel required, they tried to minimize the size of everything to keep the weight down, until later when they had alloys and such that could lighten the load. It was also used by 'undercover' guards on trains & such and easier to conceal.
