It almost looks like a Lebel M1892 pistol. And that would make it an 8mm Lebel, that is just a little over 30 cal.

It looks like one of the numerous Belgian revolvers of the 1890's   caliber can be determined by a chamber cast of the cylinder and , bore slugging,of the barrel.It is interesting to note that  Naigant (designer) was a Belgian.He produced some very famous weapons Nagaint revolvers and was part of the Mosin-Nagant design team,hth   Doug

It looks Belgian to me as well. Are there any markings or proof marks on it?
