Well, it is an interesting old revolver but it is not a Smith and Wesson. I can't see the trademark on the grip clearly enough to identify it. Are there markings on the top of the barrel? Or anywhere else that would assist with establishing the maker? If you can post pictures of any other markings, it will help those much smarter than me with an identification.
 
The grip logo is Andrew Fryberg & Co.'s of Hopkinton, MA. Andrew Fryberg & Sons of Worchester, MA., built guns in 1899 for Sears & Roebuck only. (Previously, Fryberg worked for Iver Johnson as a designer.) In 1903 it became Andrew Fryberg & Co., in Hopkinton. In 1904 , Fred Sears bought the company and moved the plant & machinery to Meriden, Conn. and named the company Meriden Firearms. Ed.
