I recently received a hand gun that belonged to my great great grandmother. It was purchased by my great great great grandfather some time after the cival war. It has alabaster or ivory grip the gun is etched. The only markings I can find on it is the word Nero above the barrel and the word patent on the barrel. the barrel length is about 2 inches and appears to be a .22 calebar. It is a seven shot with no trigger guard and looks very similar to a colt new line .22 Any ideas?
