short barrel ball and cap pistol - Google Search

Ball and cap I think. I an not a pistol expert but looking at the barrel I have a feeling. That barrel is going to be the tell tale sign. Any idea what caliber it is?

 

[ARC]

38 ... my guess.

Nice!

 

[Retired Sarge]

I agree with the cap and ball answer. You can see where the loading rod pivots.

Looks like a break open .32 - H&R or Hopkins Allen, perhaps? Cartridge variety from around 1900.

 

[ARC]

Agreed... Charlie.

 

[ARC]

there is no "sight" or site ?... or rusted away.

 

[allen_idaho]

I would have gone with Smith & Wesson Model 2 or Model 3. But it's a tough call.

 

[Retired Sarge]

Didn't even think about it, but a top break might be correct as said!

 

[Crowfriend]

That H &R looks like a likely match. The site has rusted off. I sure appreciate the help!

 

[Crowfriend]

There appears to be a bit of the screw as shown in the H&R photo
