odd 22 pistol
I am trying to find out info on this old pistol I came across when I bought a lot of pistols, there are no markings at all but a "1" on the side and that is it. don't have any thing showing who built it. Can anyone help ? you pull the brass knob to break open the barrel.

it's a 22 LR single shot, top break 0 -
Looks home built. Likely from a dead pistol (S&W?) that blew up taking out the top strap and cylinder. Can you provide some pic's of the tip up mechanism and what is under the grips.
added I am interested in the "mechanism" under the grip as in type mainspring; not markings which you stated weren't there.
added 2 Ok I see them now after logging out clearing my computer shutting it off and restarting. I still think is made on a S&W or clone pistol remnant. No telling who or when Bubba was. Likely safe enough to shoot if it locks up tight. I'd start with CB caps and move up slowly in power, paying attention to spent brass for anomalies and extraction pressure.0 -
there are no markings under the grips, when I get in I will send more pic's. and thanks 0 -
The frame, hammer and trigger look like a commercial manufactured revolver, possibly European or South American. Someone used that frame to mount a .22 barrel on it. Interesting and ingenious. 0 -
ok, I have add more pic's, I hope someone can put the hammer down on what it is 0 -
a custom build stamped #1 for a serial number to register, unknown maker 0 -
as you can see that all controlling is done in the pistol frame, which is way I have never seen anything close to this. 0 -
besides the 22LR stamper on the barrel (which is not straight), the 1 is the only marking I can see. maybe the 1 means this is the first one any maybe no more was done ? 3 -
