Automatic revolver.
Could have been a Webley-Fosbury then, introduced 1901. The time period fits. I have heard the name Webley-Fosbury as a pistol before, but in the book it was un-named. Obviously the extra complication and weight wasn't worth the advantage offered by automatic cocking and revolving of the cylinder, because they never made the mainstream.
