Yup, the hammer was internal to the design.
It functioned as a double-action only pistol.

Looks like a Bodyguard.

The hammer is only “shrouded” and can be manually cocked.

It functioned as a double-action only pistol.Not exactly. There's a little hammer stub at the back of the shroud so that you can cock it and fire it single-action if you want to.
