Just as a change of pace. How about a cut down 1887 Winchester lever action shotgun for the lady?

In 1890 you aren't likely to run across anything double action or anything hammerless.
I am now planning on hitting the NRA museum. It's more than an hour drive, and I worry it's going to be tiny, but there's plenty of other nice stuff in Virginia to make up for it. Hopefully we'll find someone there willing to answer questions.
I didn't say impossible. I said not likely. And still do. I'm aware of those little 32 caliber s&w and h&r top break revolvers. They existed in 1890 but I doubt they were common until after 1900. Besides, they were junk. I know, I have one in 38 caliber.

Actually there were a lot of double action revolvers around.
The break top DA pistols made by the big manufacturers (Smith & Wesson, Harrington & Richardson, Iver Johnson, and a few others) were considered quality pocket and vest pocket pistols at the time.
