Hiya,
A co-worker found this in a junkpile.
I don't see much in the way of markings, haven't checked under the handle. It's not .22 or .32. I can get more pics if helpful.
Thanks!

it is a nice paperweight, nothing more.

Not something I would even test fire without knowing what powder it was designed for
 
There were a lot of those swing barrels years ago.
Could be any number of calibers.
41 Rimfire, 44 Russian, just to mention a couple.
 
I'm googling "side swing pistol" for a matching photo, so far seeing a lot of Civil War era pieces that are close but not exact. Any markings?
 
Thanks for the replies!
The only marking I saw is a faded out 3 digit number on the butt, 441 maybe.
I'll ask him to inspect the hammer for nipples.

OP, where did you source this photo...???
It is clearly ripped from the bpdnews photo (not implying you did it).
The unique patina of the brass is like a fingerprint, as are the photographic artifacts in the photo itself.
Are you saying your co-worker has the actual pistol in the photo and it's his photo...??? Or, is it a representation of the photo he has?
