Looks very similar to a piece of crap revolver that my great grandfather owned. There was not a marking to be found on it and it was inoperable. It was typical of very early 20th century crappy handguns owned by folks who couldn't afford a s and w or colt

FP-45 Liberator
Air dropped during WW2. The plan was to drop it in such great quantities that occupying forces could never capture or recover all of them.

The FP-45.... had just 23 largely stamped and turned steel parts... fired the .45 ACP... unrifled barrel....maximum effective range was only about 25 feet (8 m)...delivered cost for the FP-45 was $2.10/unit, lending it the nickname "Woolworth pistol".
