The first "38's"

This is the first "38" that I ever bought.

It's a .38 caliber rimfire single action revolver that was made around 1880.

It is marked with the tradename & model number: "Robin Hood No.4", as well, also engraved on the side of the barrel is the date of a Patent owned by F.Hood, who was the owner of Hood Firearms Co. In Norwich, Connecticut during the 1870's-80's.

I have read about how Hood made the .22 caliber & .32 caliber revolvers, but this model was made under license by Whitney Manufacturing company.
