Rifle action and a black powder revolver I.D.

The Load Room
Cap and ball revolver found in a creek bottom. Would like to know the approximate year, make, model. the bore and one chamber I can barely reach mic. approximately .31 cal, 2" barrel may be cut down but retains a front sight, no trigger, gaurd or loading lever/ball starter left, 3 of the five chambers are still loaded with what look to be conical bullets, to much rust and pitting to get any identifiable markings.

The rifle action was found in the desert, appears to be a slide action safety hammerless 22 cal. but does not match the Savage actions I have reviewed, sn legible 3527* no other stampings or markings, maybe a house brand? Thanks all.

    With Your little Percussion Pistol the nearest I can get is the W.W.Marston Pocket Model Revolver...If You have access To a Fladerman's Guide... Look at the photo of the Marston There were evidently 7 Models made from 1858 to the early 1860's...for a total of 13,000 made. Fladerman also points out the similarity of the First Model Whitney....With Fladerman's Book in front of and the little pistol in hand You might pick out the correct gun......Best

    The trigger assembly is probably for a Remington Model 12 22RF.
    I say probable because the Model 12 and 25 have to be closely examined since they look alike but there were more Model 12s produced.

    I retract my post because the Model 12 and 25 don't have the slider safety.
    Sorry, I just noticed it.

    THE .22 IS POSIBLY A MARLIN (PREMIER) OR SAVAGE (THEY MADE 5/6 MODELS)

    Thank you though! I have the 12c so ruled it out also, someone on another forum suggested Mossberg?
