I'm still looking through my books, but I have a few guesses:

It may be some bizarre Frankenweapon a mad gunsmith came up with.

If not, the basic design and weirdness of it looks like the kind of stuff they were doing in the 1870-1920 period. The hinge-open, top-break design was also common in that time period. The frame style looks like those used by Hopkins & Allen in that time period as well, making me think even more that it's a Frankenweapon.

I've been searching too, but alas only this picture I found at a gun discussion forum.....

Well, if you're firing .25 ACP, you might want 18 rounds -- it's a more anemic round than even .22 Long Rifle.

When I was stationed at Laughlin AFB in West Texas in 1975, we had a man come into in emergency room. He had been shot in the chest 6 times at close range with a .25. The ER doc removed them with a pair of twezers.

My brother and I shot a ammo can with his .25 ACP and all it did was put dents in it.
