Is that the Rast & Gasser 8mm revolver???

No, I belive it to be the 10,5 MM, used till the end of WW1 by medical, artillary,and such that were not right in the front, but still needed or wanted a side arm.
Given it has no built in way of ejecting fired cases, I would be a little unhappy with it compared to my luger!
(though it likly never jams!)
