It looks to be in the form of what were called "Suicide Specials" this looks like an early type being that most of them had a cylinder release pin where this one shows it's cap and ball heritage. It may be a conversion but I am thinking it was built that way from the ground up just into the cartridge era. What caliber is it? Any guess? .22,.32 etc. The cylinder lockup appears interesting as well. It appears to have a serial number or something under the missing grips. It may also have been hand made.
