Velo-Dog Revolver

Belgian Velo-Dog Revolver - 5.75mm Velo-Dog

Velo-Dog revolver, an early version with fixed trigger.

The Velo-Dog was a pocket revolver originally created in France by Charles-François Galand in the late 19th century as a defense for cyclists against dog attacks. The name is a portmanteau of "velocipede" (bicycle) and "dog". Velo-Dog revolvers were manufactured in France, Belgium, Spain, Russia and other countries in numerous versions, often with folding triggers. Their small size and low cost led to them being carried as concealed weapons despite the low stopping power of the cartridge. While the original version used specially designed 5.75mm cartgidge, other models used .22 LR, .25 ACP and some other cartridges.
