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?

Great find !! Are you able to tell if it has cartridges in it ?
Yes, it is loaded.
It is hammerless.
Can you read anything on the barrel? Is it a 5 or 6 shot cylinder?
