It's a Spanish overcoat pistol. What do you want to know other than what you posted?

I don't own one, that's just a pic I found. There were a lot of them sold in the 60's and 70's but I can't say they're exactly common now.

Hawg, thank you so much for the quick response to my question and information you provided me. I guess it would be classified as a DERINGER?

Yeah it could be classified as one. It might could even be classified as a muff pistol.
