Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! That appears to be a .44 Double Action, 1st Model chambered for .44 Russian. They made 54668 of them from 1881-1913. Perhaps someone who tracks these models can give an approximate shipping date. All the frames for these guns were made before 1899. So, the gun is an antique per BATF.
