Hmmmmmmmmmmm............
Any experts out there? (LOL)
This did have quite a bit more rust on it, I knocked most of it off.
It's a 5 shot, and has a octagonal barrel. When's the last time they used one of those?
Found in an old farm field.
What do ya know? My signature came true! 
Thanks for peeking.

I have to take my detector out for a walk every now & then. If I don't, it starts leaving little piles of pull tabs all over the house!!

Cool find. Closest thing I found was the Iver Johnson American Bulldog: C and R - Curios and Relics - Hand Guns - Guns and Treasures
(scroll down to #3) not quite but pretty close.

When the going gets wierd, the wierd turn pro....
I'm pretty sure what you have there is an H&R Model 1905. There are a few other pistols that are very similar, but looking at the grip profile the 1905 is the closest match I can think of. That's a really cool find and in good shape for having come out of farm land!

I'm inclined toward this one too. The condition is pretty good too but, I did knock a LOT of rust off it first.
Thanks again!

Take a brass brush to it, and knock off the loose rust, then give it a few coats of clear coat. It'll look really good framed on your wall. That's a really nice find as far as guns go, and I'm just a tiny bit jealous....

Awesome piece for sure
I've found bits and pieces of a real gun but never the entire thing.
