Confederate? Union? Repro? I'm stumped!

Ok, so at first I thought Whitney Pocket pistol. But I don't think it is due to the bottom of the frame being more squared at the round. It also has a round barrel, if it even went with the frame originally. That would also kick out a Spiller and Burr. There are no makers marks. The last digit of the serial number is not in line but sideways and under the rest on the frame, in the 120,XXX range. Any thoughts at all?

Yes, I see the makeshift pin with bolt(someone definitely just tried to put it together quick.

Well, it's a nice little pistol regardless. How about some closer shots of it?

That is a very pretty little revolver. The staggering number of very similar variants made by a large number manufacturers, can make identification of these 19 Century US firearms a real head scratcher.

I can recommend the indispensable Flaydermans guide to anyone who doesn't have a copy
