Hello,
this is definitely a "Montenegrin Gasser". It was probably not made by the original maker, L. Gasser of Vienna but is rather a Liege made copy, which were numerous; I could tell you more from a better picture. I pressume this one is 6-shot (most Belgian copies were 5-shot). Probable date of production is c.1885-1914. Most were exported to the Balkans and the Near-Middle East. It is intersting that the Turks used quite some of them during WWI, including the Gallipoli campaign.
Regards,
montenegrin
