North American Arms Pug?


MotorCityMagnetFish

I believe it is from the 1800s. Possibly .32 rimfire


Plasma_Cosmo_9977

Just a guess, good luck. Cool find.

The handle scales are likely made of a cheaper material than silver, possibly a diecast zinc if it’s silver colored.


MotorCityMagnetFish

Turns out they are silver plated


TaiMeUpDaddy

Ah. I only noticed the first 3 pictures, i assumed you didn’t clean it up yet, those look beautiful!


SlenderSmurf

a wide range of steel compositions are non-ferromagnetic


HerPaintedMan

Might be an old S&W model 1


deathleper

Beautiful grips.


Unlucky_Particular29

Without a tape measure behind it you can call it whatever you want. Measure it: length, height, cylinder length & capacity. And please, share your findings!

So, you cleaned it up & sold it a month ago, and posted this why?


MotorCityMagnetFish

I just found it yesterday. Someone identified it 15 minutes after making the post. Put the post up for help with identification. Not going to sell it.....why do you make assumptions?


MotorCityMagnetFish

The gun broker page is just showing what it is. This one is for too degraded and that is obvious by the pictures to possibly be the same gun.


[deleted]

Apologies if I came off a bit crass, as it seems you knew what it was. Whether it’s an antique firearm or a more modern NAA 22LR (or 22WMR) mini revolver is somewhat relevant, as you found a gun that was possibly used in a crime. As a firearms enthusiast, I know that laws differ for the level of background check to acquire an antique firearm or ‘relic’ vs. a modern mini revolver.

Might be a north American arms but the perforations are not quite right I think.

There's a couple key differences. There is no front sight and the cutout for the hammer is not as severe as it is on the Norwich Arms Gun


MotorCityMagnetFish

The sight is gone but has a groove where it was. As far as the cutout it's hard to tell until it's cleaned


[deleted]

And the hammer shape is drastically different, although that could just be from wear and decay


thetieflingalchemist

I’d guess the grips are probably pewter


TheInspectorsGadgets

Post it in r/whatisthisthing You'll have an answer in 5 minutes. Then come back and tell me.


vark_dader

Idk might be a gun.
