Colt Pocket Revolver Clone

Holmberg seen at the end of the movie with a revolver, which is very reminiscent the Colt pocket revolvers, such as the 1st/2nd gen Detective Special, but with a number of unusual features in the form of a high/fixed rear sight, and a right-side cylinder latch. From this it can be assumed that this is most likely the some European pocket revolver (most likely Belgian, Spanish, or French-produced), close to later swing-out cylinder Velo-Dogs (more info: [1], [2]), but heavily influenced by Colt's design.
