I stumbled across an unloved Idea mould in the 1897 catalog, it was gone in the 1929 catalog. The illustration appears to be a heel based boolit.

The .32 Swiss Ordnance (also called 7.5 Swiss Ordnance) was made by Waffenfabrik Bern for the 1882 Ordnance revolver.

A closer look at how the Abadie gate functions. When the M1882's loading gate is open the hammer is locked in place. The trigger continues to rotate the cylinder when pulled which speeds the loading of this revolver.
