Anybody have any clues what this revolver is? The only markings are "Made in Spain". The grips aren't original obviously.

Early in the 20th century there were several Spanish companies making all sorts of knock-off firearms. Because this example has a grip safety it looks to be a copy of a Smith & Wesson "Lemon Squeezer" Is it .38 or .32 cal? 277429

The size of the cylinder in relation to the trigger guard makes it look like 32 to me. I see that grip safety too and it looks like a top break. It looks similar to the Euskara or JLG, but the back strap between the top break and the grip looks wrong. It might be the non original grips that is throwing me off. Look for JLG on it.

S&W coin in the handle tells me it is a Lemon squeezer. Here a photo of mine for comparison. Yours has a slightly different trigger but otherwise looks pretty much the same. Could be a knockoff I suppose with SW grips but I would guess just a different vintage version.

Also known as the Smith and Wesson Safety Hammerless. Mines chambered in 38 S&W (not to be confused with 38 special or 38 colt)

Caution: these guns are known for listening up over time and becoming unsafe to fire. If lockup isn’t very tight I don’t recommend firing until inspected by qualified gunsmith.

The grips were added afterwards as they are a terrible fit. I can see it being a knockoff but definitely not a S&W. It almost looks 32 cal. The cylinders are a touch short.

Alright guys, thanks for the help. It is indeed a JLG knockoff of a lemon squeezer in 32 S&W. I'm thinking this thing will continue collecting dust. 277443
