From looking at it right now, it looks like it could be a top break revolver with a rib across the top of the barrel.

I certainly agree with BrokenKnee; I am a firm believer in electrolysis after what I saw on my Sambo cap gun. If you missed the post, here it is:

Agreed. Perhaps an Iver Johnson, or similar revolver, dating from the late 1800's to around turn of the Century.

I agree with Mike. My first impression was maybe a Schofield S&W?

Thats the nicest cap gun I ever saw and totally amazed what you were able to do with it! I however am having difficulty with the electrolysis proses neg. to relic pos.to anode/sacrificial rod in a plastic bucket with backing powder? or does it have to be "washing soda"?
