I'm no expert on these, but "Bulldog" revolvers were made by dozens of belgian small (and larger) manufacturers at the end of the 19th - and the beginning of the 20th century. I've seen a lot of these being turned in at the police after being found in and old attic or such. The quality wasn't that great most of the times, but they were handmade. Around that time, it seems to have been our greatest export product before semi-auto pistols like the 1906 and 1910 got in favor.
They were often chambered for .320 bulldog.
If you click the link below, you can see a list with pictures that a belgian collector has gathered. It's a lot of this type revolvers.

This one is one of the bigger ones in .44-40 WCF. What I’ve read says these were $3.80 in the outhouse toilet paper, er I mean catalogues.
