Hi Ron, Sounds like you have a Forehand Arms, Double Action Revolver. If so it was manufactured somewhere between 1871 and 1890. I don't have serial number information at hand so I can't get any closer than that. Forehand Arms Co. Was purchased by Hopkins & Allen in 1902 and some of the pistol designs were produced by H&A for many years after that with the Hopkins & Allen name on them. In good condition (which should be judged by a competent gunsmith) it can be fired with.32 S&W black powder cartridges.

I have put.32 S&W Short smokeless cartridges through them on occasion but this will definitely damage the gun if more than a few are fired in it, and can cause it come 'unglued' if it is not in good condition. Hope this helps a little.
