This revolver measures 5 5/8 in. long and weighs 12.7 oz. No mfg.'s name stamped anywhere. Cartouche as seen in scans. Has switch type safety and is hammerless. # 985 stamped on barrel top. Cal 7.65 stamped on frame. Aluminum grips. Any ideas as to origins?

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to check out this web page that has a "velodog" type revolver that has the same "FA in a logo with a star and a crescent: It is the mark of Francisco ARIZMENDI, Eibar."

Click on Francisco Arizmendi (http://www.littlegun.be/ma_collection/espagne/a%20sp%20arizmendi%20francisco%20gb.htm)

Arizmendi may be the maker of your revolver.
