Are there any laws in Germany that would require that you turn that in? I am just wondering. I worked for a company in Munich for 3 years and none of those guys had ever had the opportunity to use a handgun, just hunting rifles.

Nice find! It may be hard to determine the manufacturer unless the frame is marked. Pocket Revolvers were made by many manufacturers in many countries but considering where Eifel is located, I am thinking your' find would likely have been made in Germany, Belgium or France. Similar revolvers generally date from the 1880's to around the 1940's. However, your's is somewhat unique in that it has a solid, one piece frame which includes the trigger frame and grip frame with no separate parts that hold the barrel or cylinder and I believe that this places it more in a 1920's to 1940's time period. I hopes this helps with narrowing down finding the manufacturer and time period it was produced. However, I am in no way an expert by any means but I have owned, held and viewed many revolvers in my 62 years on this earth and have sold at and/or attended hundreds of Gun Shows. Four years and four months of that time was spent in Germany at Kirch-Goens and Giessen while I was in the U.S. Army.

Looks similar to one I found last year. Mine was made by a company called "Freedom Arms".
