My! That is an old caliber. I believe it was of French origin ?? Somehow I
picked up one round back in the early 60s, while working in Brazil. It seemed OLD then.

You can well say so

This little pea-shooter was created in France at the end of XIX Century, to
be sold to bicycle riders who could - in those times - be attacked by stray
dogs if they rode out of town.
