Another Revolver that needs to be ID'd

Here's another one folks, any help would be appreciated.

On the top strap it says

THE AMERICAN
DOUBLE ACTION

The right grip panel has F&W Above a shield that has what appears to be USA on it. The left grip panel is decorative.

It appears to be a .38 but .38 Special is too long.

I found this and except for the right grip panel and being a .32 it is the same.

It appears that the cylinder pin is broken and the latch is missing on mine.

That's ok, was never planning on shooting it anyway.

Thanks,

DM

F&W stands for Forehand and Wadsworth, one of the old cheap revolver makers. Calibre is .38 Smith & Wesson which is shorter but larger in case and bullet diameter than .38 Special.
