rob,
the top break is a safety automatic revolver first model (should have barrel latch release lever of the left side of the top strap. serial number is under the grip strap on the left side. manufacture date is 1894/1895 depending on if there is a letter code with the serial number. first model is chambered for black powder cartridge pressures. how many patent dates are listed two or four.
the target sealed 8 model was manufactured between 1932 and 1954. serial number N29902 manufactured 1950/51. how long is the barrel and does the top strap markings say target sealed 8 or just sealed 8

Bill,
I'll have to check how many patent dates are on the 38. I think it is only two. The 22. just says Sealed 8, and the barrel is about 4".
