A slam fire pistol. Circa Philippine Insurrection?
The previous owner told me that it was made by a prison convict, who used it in an attempted escape from a penitentiary.

In the close up photo encircled in green is the trigger post, this holds the barrel at the ready, when the trigger is pulled back, the post drops down and the barrel slides back via a spring. The last photo shows the barrel fully extended ready to fire.
