This is an example of the Tranter Parlor Pistol; I assume it's chambered for the .22 Short and likely used most often with the BB cap, again, likely in the loading without powder in the case.
This design is the basis for the later Webley and Scott SS Pistol. I don't know the serial number (if any) of this pistol; it came up for sale some while ago, and I added the image to my archives and then promptly forgot where I got it. I have no idea how old this pistol is; I would assume prior to 1900, but who knows?
