Wow! I'd say it's real but I don't know anything else about it.

That looks like a "Forehand & Wadsworth" revolver. They were made in 32 and 38 caliber. Here's a link to some history on them:

Either could be correct.Could the lettering be the same on the handgrip for both? I think I see F&W but your gun is a closer match then what I saw.

Have you cleaned it up yet? There should be some markings on the barrel. Is it hammerless?

Can you read anything on the barrel? Is it a 5 or 6 shot cylinder?

Wow! Don't see real guns posted very often!!
That might be a good candidate for a go round in a electrolysis bath.
Cool find!
