He’s obviously taken the sensible precaution of putting a safety rag over the muzzle. Should be good.

I am a gunsmith. Please please please please DO NOT attempt to do anything with that. Other than taking that to a smith. I would be willing to bet that bore is highly effed. Not safe to fire. Definitely looks to be in decent shape to be restored though. But without checking out the bore it might just be a display piece for the remainder of its life.
looks like it might be a 22 short, maybe even a flobert.
lucky find!

I can’t believe you put your fingerprints on that

You’ve got at least one huge hand, or that’s a cap gun. Based on the wear, I’ll say your hand is normal size.

That is the gun that killed the Indian in the cupboard. Probably worth something.

Perchance, can you help us understand why you thought the trigger was the best place to hold it?

Finger OFF THE TRIGGER. Don’t care how you’re holding it, never put your finger near/on the trigger of a gun you aren’t ready to fire. If that thing was loaded this could very easily turn into an ND (negligent discharge) with one slip, the hammer is even cocked. Use your head!

Please dude
At least clear the firearm & slowly release the hammer first 🤦♂️

It’s an old rimfire, likely 32 or 38 caliber, which is long since out of production.

You’ve been chosen. Saddle up. You gotta find the nearest saloon and walk through the swinging doors. Make as much noise as you can with your spurs. Tip your hat, hock the nastiest loogie in a spit jar and demand to speak with the sheriff.

You should put that down and call someone that knows how to handle a gun.

It’s crazy how small people’s hands used to be when food was food, men were men, and sheep were nervous. My grandpa collected cowboy guns and they all look like toys.

Don’t dry fire something like that. Old guns aren’t built for it. Other than that follow the four basic safety rules
Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded: Always assume a gun has ammunition, even if you’ve checked it, to prevent accidental discharges.
Never point the muzzle at anything you’re not willing to destroy: Control the direction of the gun’s barrel (muzzle) at all times, pointing it in a safe direction where an accidental shot wouldn’t cause harm.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target: Your finger should stay straight and outside the trigger guard until you’ve identified your target and are ready to fire.
Know your target and what’s beyond it: Be certain of what you’re shooting at and confirm there’s a safe backstop to stop the bullet if you miss, as bullets can travel long distances.

I have one very similar to that with a shorter barrel that I found in my grandpa’s garage.. It’s a 32 caliber 5 shot rimfire made by a company called Guardian. It’s like a Saturday night special from the 20s..
