Is that a cylinder, or just rust? A french pin-fire?

it appears the hammer strikes on top on the cylinder, that makes me think Lefaucheux or another pin fire. It has the same general "bat wing" shape.

Start watching you tube restoration videos! The truth is hidden under the rust.

Obviously a Gen 1 Glock
Assuming it is, in fact, a firearm (or was at one point) I think it interesting that the grip appears to have been solid metal, as opposed to cut out. Also, the grip shape looks more modern than anything I've seen on a pinfire. That said, the overall design is vaguely that of a Lefaucheux, with a drop-down trigger.
One other possibility is a much more modern toy revolver of some manner. Which would explain the apparently entirely metal construction, yet seeming inconsistent proportions - cylinder, barrel length, grip, etc.
