A student brought in a stumper of a revolver. It's a top-break, very similar to a S&W Model 3. The top of the barrel is marked "The Old Firearms Manufacture," and there's a logo on the right side that looks like a S&W trademark, except with different script.
The grips appear to be old S&W hard rubber, and it has a strain screw. Caliber looks to be .44 or .45. Cylinder is too short for .44-40 cartridges, though a .44 Special casing fits tight.
We're guessing .44 Russian or .45 Schofield, but we're not taking any chances until we know for sure.
