J-BAR #18287 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Mine is marked "Whitneyville Armory CT US" on top of the barrel, a 7-shot .22 short. I posted because they both have spur triggers, cylinder notches at the front of the cylinder, and serial numbers on the bottom of the grip. So, maybe a Whitneyville?? If you Google "spur trigger revolver" you will get a bunch of images for a closer match. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks! They do have some similarities. The barrel on mine is octagonal and it does not have a manufacture listed anywhere. Eyeballing the cylinders and estimating at some type of 32 caliber. I’ll do a Google search as you suggested.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 CBB, remove the grips and look for additional markings. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Looks like a William Uhlinger .32 rim fire pocket revolver, but the rod under the barrel is missing. The .22 version didn't have that rod so it might be a variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .22 version didn't have that rod so it might be a variation. Ding ding ding, I think we have a winner. I did a search and my pistol looks exactly like a WU. Mine has a dovetail machined into the bottom of the barrel to hold an ejector rod housing, but the ejector is missing. Google says Uhlinger was knowingly infringing S&W’s patent so he deliberately didn’t mark the guns. That means this gun is at least 155 years old. Thanks Forty Rod!
