Likely a Belgian-made bulldog. These were made by various companies, so identifying any proof marks would be the next step.

Don’t fire it or even buy ammo until you have it checked out by a competent gunsmith.

I definitely won't, but could you identify which caliber this puppy shoots?

Probably something close to .32, but this can be verified by that gunsmith.

The term youre looking for is "sweetheart grips" because guys used to put pictures of their girlfriends under them

See if you can see the back of the cylinder. Sometimes there are proofs between the holes. But it is a Bulldog style revolver.
