I think it actually shoots the 5.5 Velo Dog round.  Kind of like a 22 Hornet short.
Could be wrong but looks like a neat little revolver.
I will do some research into when I get home and see what I can find.
hit this back so I can find it tomorow.

It appears to be a Belgian Velo-Dog.
They were made in several calibers
with the 5.5 mm being most prevalent

Some also worked with 32 acp. This one is missing it's ramrod, safety lever and the grip screw if from ACO, I think.
