Are there any markings on the frame of the revolver? If this was made by a reputable company, I would
expect them to mark the frame somewhere. Over the years I have seen many poor quality copies from
Spain, Belgium,and the middle east trying to look like British firearms. I am suspicious of
your example.......Terry

I don't think it's British. Other than the serial numbers, small crown on the right and .44 on the left there's no sign of markings.
It WAS in a fire thus the poor condition of both of them. I doubt very much either of these will see any action but don't have the heart to throw them out. I can whip out the magnifying glass out again but doubt I'll find anything. Just figured other than a gun message board this would be the place to ask. I can clean it up seeing It's really not going to damage anything. Thanks for the input.
Just curious as to WHO made it and a bit more of the History. The Bulldog I was able to find more about and am thinking of cleaning that one up first.

That's not a bad idea at all. It's still considered a firearm so I'd rather it not be taken outside the home at all.

The larger pistol looks like a "Webley Pryse."
There's a super expensive one here...

Which should give you some idea what it should look like when not burnt.
Hope that helps!
