Found a piece of a pistol today, looking for parts

[kilmer]

Hit an old homestead in a soybean field today. I didn't find a lot but did pick up a few of the gas heater keys and a cool "piece of a revolver". It is very small and has a lot of engraving on it. It seems to be brass and has taken on a cool green patina. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts about the age. The hammer was very thin and it had no trigger guard. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

HH,
