  The pistol in question was made between 1866 and 1880's in Ct. It was known as a Bulldog and was 44 rimfire caliber.Also made in 50 caliber but very rare.There were other variations that are considered rare and worth more money. Fladermans guide to american guns values this piece between $375 and $925. Condition drives everything and if you had more detailed pictures the value could be calculated closer.

  The current Flayderman's (9th edition) lists value range $475-$1500, but they are pretty common and slow sellers. Here's a refinished one on a current listing you can watch:
