Question 1882 W+F Swiss Revolver

Hi everyone! <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />

Some time ago, I posted a picture of this non-military civil 1882 W+F Swiss revolver:

I've still not been able to figure out whether this revolver was an official one or whether it was a private one.
I got the holster which I believe is the original one. Unlike military holsters, there is not strip for holding spare cartridges.

Inside there is a partly vanished marking:

Can anyone derive something from these holster and marking?

There is no marking on the outside of the holster.

Thanks, Panda
