Looking at that revolver reminds me of the movie Frankenstein. It is indeed cobbled together from several firearms, and it was done in someones basement, not in an armory or factory. It is a crude attempt at counterfeiting. The frame is from a modern reproduction and the rest of the parts don't even fit . IMHO it's value is only that of a conversation piece. The double stamping of the London address should have been the first clue. Sorry about that. BTW it is very easy to age a modern revolver to look as if it is a hundred years old and has had hard use, in fact you can buy modern reproductions , new in the box. that were so aged at the factory.
