There is a questionnaire at the top of the page.
Pictures are a big help.

Welcome to the Forum.
As Jim noted, we need a LOT info to ID your revolver.
Do you have any cartridges you can try to chamber? Even if they don't fit, that can help with the ID.

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! Make sure you are getting the serial number from the bottom of the butt frame and are including any preceding letters like S, K, C, D, etc. even if they are separated from the numbers.

Welcome from Va.
Welcome to the forum!
Most every model has its own serial # range. That's why Alan's ID link above is so important to identify the model. However very few models that belong in this section of the forum are not marked with the caliber. But for you to post your thread in this section, you must feel confident that it's a Hand Ejector model (swing out cylinder).
In that case if it's a large revolver it could have been a .455 Hand Ejector - 1st or 2nd Model British Svc Revolver made for WWI mostly in Mk II, .455 caliber, but not all. However that # is either not taken from the gun butt and therefore not the serial # or it's in a different model serial # range.
The little .32 Hand Ejector is another unmarked for caliber Hand Ejector, but again that # is not taken from the gun butt and therefore not the serial # or not a.32 HE.
Also when there's no caliber mark on the barrel, or serial # on the butt, they could have been removed! But we can still ID the revolver model with the proper description details.
