At the very most, the original box lids of this era (late 1800s) had basic operating instructions for the top-break revolvers made at that time. A Forum search may find you an image of that for your gun.

As Mike noted, the S & W model 2 was in .32 Rimfire and is a "tip-up"...not even box lids with printed instructions with those. This was well before the time of "don't point that at someone and pull the trigger because that is dangerous" warnings with each gun sold...
