Wow, finally a What Is It that I actually know about (although I'm not the first with the correct answer). It's a pocket pistol. It's pictured in one of my firearms history books around here somewhere.

It's small concealable gun that can be fit in a palm. I have heard it called a "lemon squeezer". It's a hammerless .32 caliber squeeze gun.
It is similar to, if not the gun, that Leon Czolgosz used to assassinate William McKinley in 1901.

I believe it is known as a Chicago Protector palm pistol.

According to another website, Leon Czolgosz used a .32 Iver Johnson hammerless revolver to shoot and kill McKinley, not a pistol such as this.

It is a "turret pistol." It holds seven cartridges. This gun is cocked by squeezing in the lever sticking out on the right, and is fired by pressing a small trigger lever just under the barrel. What appears to be an abrasive wheel in the center is a knurled inset that the user rests their thumb against to steady the gun when cocking and firing.

You would place the gun in the palm of the right hand, with the curved lever against the heel of the hand. Then wrap your fingers around it with the barrel protruding between the index and middle finger.

This is a russian made hand cruppler. A Weevolint inspector uses this small device to make a nonsymetrical hole from which to draw a sample for semi-destructive testing. The device had to be small so that it could be concealed from the Weevolint, else drastic violence may ensue. Weevolints were finally made extinct during the Bavarian Ice riots of 1932.

Lee Van Cleef used one of these in the film Return of Sabata and it is definitely a pistol. They were originally conceived in France as a weapon for assassins and was originally available in a 10 shot 6mm and 7 shot 7mm. In the US it was chambered for .22,.32 center fire and .32 rimfire cartridges. A really nice one would probably go for $2500-$3000 today.
