It's not a Velodog.
It is, as noted earlier, probably a Belgian "British Bulldog." That appears to be a particularly nice specimen. The Bulldogs that I have (2) are chambered for the 380 Revolver cartridge, though the .38 Short Colt will work. The cartridge requires a heeled bullet and is powered by a BP load - no smokeless in that gun. I make serviceable cartridges using .38 S&W brass and bullets from GAD Custom.
There is a nice article about Bulldog pistols by George Layman in the 2010 edition of Gun Digest.
