Welcome! I moved the post to the Revolvers 1896-1961 subforum.

I think Randy has the ID correct. A .38 on this size frame (the I) would have only fit five rounds in the cylinder and this one has six. A similar gun to this was made in .22 LR but the firing pin on these was in the frame, not on the hammer.

Suggestions as to how to remove the rust will be forthcoming. It may look surprisingly good underneath if the rust and pitting aren't too deep into the metal.
