It's not a .25 ACP. It's a .22 Hornet. A neat little 125 yard small game cartridge from 90 years ago.
The 3 barreled versions of these guns are called drillings, pronounced the German way, "dry ling" because they have 3 barrels; "drei" being their word for 3. I guess it would properly be called a "vierling" (veer ling) due to the 4 barrels.
It's a perfect gun for those who can shoot well and are law limited to owning just one firearm. -

It's a Krieghoff Vierling.

Ole - A Quadro? Might be. Hard to tell from just the one picture. The latching mechanism is different than their pre-war Dural model.
I think it might be a Karl Hauptmann. A Peter Hofer perhaps.
It sure ain't no Marlin. -

It's not a Krieghof. The action looks wrong, unless it was customized. Also, most vierlings are made with two shotgun barrels, a medium-bore barrel and a "varmint" barrel.
If I were to guess, it would be a Fanjoi piece, but I'm probably wrong.
