I have a Model #1 Type 3 H & R Handy Gun . I removed the wood grip & compared to this unit .
I can say that the grip frame is completely different than my Handy Gun . I would post a pic of mine ,
if I knew how to do it.
This looks like a Cooey 84 or 840 with a homemade grip frame added.

Common enough years ago, many enterprising people with some basic skills and some tools would convert single shot .22 rifles and single shot shotguns into home made single shot pistols of varying quality. Illegal? Of course, but 50, 60 and more years ago nobody was too concerned. If some kid got caught with one he had it taken away, a stern lecture to the parents and someone got their a$$ tanned. Probably not a city thing.

I wonder if the coke or vinegar treatment would show something.
They do that with old axe heads.
Nice old piece of history.

I find it interesting that you found the frame without the barrel in the ditch?
Odds are there never was a serial number on it. Those are a more or less modern thing. They weren't required by law in the U.S. until 68 (Gun Control Act). Many Canadian made guns I've seen from before the 50's didn't have them, either.
definitely the bottom one
