Welcome to the Forum. The shape of the top of the trigger tells me it has to be a 44 Double Action and from the looks of the short flutes, it is in 44 Russian Caliber. There are 32 and 38 Double Actions with the same shape and overall appearance, and you did not provide any reference to scale. The 32 and 38 have a straight top section to the trigger and the 44 is recurved. It would have had to been manufactured in 1881 or 1882 with a 4 digit serial number.

Forgot to mention I believe it has replacement stocks, since the originals were walnut or hard rubber checkered stocks. Here is a 32 DA and a 44 DA Frontier in 44-40 for comparison.
