Found in a box 50 years after my grandfathers demise among some other small revolvers. Hopkins & Allen .32 rimfire revolver bore measures .295, cylinder measures .316. 6 shot, nickel finish, spur trigger. Only number found is 420 on bottom of barrel and on some parts inside. Perhaps 60% original finish.
Estimated mfg about 1870?? I could not find any information on line. Where might I look? What have I here?
