Some type of colt cartridge conversion. Them winchester 32 rimfires are worth a lot if there are any cartridges left.

could be the Colt Pocket 1849 model

The "black fabric tube" is probably a shoelace filled with either .38-200 or 9mm rounds to keep bloused pant legs hanging " just right". kayceel

neat find. I'd give $50-100 for the .32 box and the gun, no idea what its worth in that condition but would make a cool conversation piece

The rebated cylinder puts this as 1860 Navy small frame Pocket .31Cal to .36Cal.
Maybe?

Skinny 1950s right not a 1849 i have a similar one with the rebated cylinder in 38 rimfire i was told colt made these things up with leftover parts it's the same size as a 1849 colt shown below it.

Thanks for your reply.... That would be it. I can see it being made from leftover parts - for instance the lower of the barrel block was never drilled to accept the pin for the plunger apparatus. So it was never actually a conversion in the true sense, in that it was never started life as a cap and ball. Call this an 1862 Pocket Navy cartidge w/rebated cylinder in 38 rf... or am I still off ?

To be honest with you I've never been 100% sure what my gun is i bought it on gunbroker thinking it was a 1862 colt when it arrived it
didn't look quite right so i contacted the seller to ask him if he knew more about it and he told me that it was a colt made from leftover parts
