    With a rough guess I would say your timing is out.
    When you cock the gun a pawl moves the cylinder into position to fire ie, in line with the barrel.
    If the pawl is worn or the teeth on the cylinder are worn it will not rotate fully to the firing position.

    Like I said, just a guess. It will be interesting to know the cause when you suss it out.

    The teeth on the cylinder look good. Could be the pawl. I have found that if I swing the gun to the right it works for one shot. So something is defiantly off or broken.

    And it might be me, but I have had two pinfire guns in the past, this revolver and a shotgun. And both smelt funny. Odd to mention I know but still. Both had this particular smell I have only found on Belgium guns.

    I don't think you'll get anywhere without taking it apart, my guess is it's just general wear. These little revolvers aren't rocket science, there's only a few moving parts. I would get the screws soaking in a penetration oil for a couple of days then set to.
