Verification of Antique Firearms

The Kolbs (Baby Hammerless) may or may not be antiques, depending on the date of manufacture. AFAIK, there are no remaining serial number or production records to show when a given gun was made, so a determination could go either way. The H&A may be so marked or could by a Merwin, Hulbert made by Hopkins and Allen. Regardless, it is an antique.

Thank you! Are both the baby hammerlesses Kolbs? I was thinking the pearl one was a sedgley? It is also labeled as a .25 caliber but I was thinking it was a .22 caliber.
 
IIRC, Kolb made them first and Sedgley sold them, later Sedgely made and sold them. So both names have been used.
