Deringer rimfire revolver

[Freedspeak]

Looking for info about a revolver that appears to be .30-.32 cal rimfire.
The stampings are "Manuf'd at the Deringer Rifle & Pistol works Philla Pa." along the side of the barrel and "Deringer Phillada." on the top.

Henry Deringer (d. 1868) is more famous for the single shot percussion pistols that bear his name, but the company he founded later also made tip-up revolvers in both .22 and .32 rimfire. They have birdshead grips and are in appearance copies of the similar S&W revolvers. The internal mechanism is different, though.

In spite of the famous name, values are not high, with a tops of $300 or so.
