Anybody know much about these? A friend of mines father past and he has a few pieces, I got this before really looking it over,  it's not terrible but the firing pin is out and I haven't a clue about how or if i even want to mess with it.

These were inexpensive revolvers, and an overall weak design, as the hinge usually becomes loose pretty quickly.

This one looks to be in much better condition than most I've seen, however.

As long as the action is tight, I would buy or fabricate another firing pin for it, It shouldn't be a big deal.

What caliber is it?

It's a 38. I jumped the gun for sure, it's about to far gone, the timing off as well as the firing pin problem. I let my neighbor take it home,  he's a cool older guy who likes working on stuff little this. I'll probably just let him have it. He has a nice collection,  I'm trying to talk him out of his 1911 Army Ran but it's not going well . Thanks for the info.
