Might be a Cooper but it's not a Navy.  Looks too small and the cylinder doesn't appear to be rebated.  More than likely .31 pocket model.

I'll check my references and get back to you.

[Forty Rod]

Okay, I looked at Flayderman's Guide and I'll stay with my first guess.

[Goody]

It's that damn revolver you beat me out of by about 30 minutes.

[Texas John Ringo]

Pretty good.
Cooper Firearms Double Action 2nd Model .31 Pocket Revolver
Barrel address and compaired to 2nd Gen Colt '51 Navy

I could not reallly judge size    and the 1st model was not rebated ... My bad,  right church wrong pew !

[Forty Rod]

You done good, Major.  Just think how many people never even heard of a Cooper.  I may have cheated.  I owned a Cooper and worked in a place that had one on the wall for 10 years.  One was a navy and one was a pocket model, but for the life of me I can't remember which was which.  I do remember that Ray's had what appeared to be an original nickel finish, something not that common in those days.

See what 25 years of being out of touch with something can do to your memory?

No problem
I bought it in July this year and I beat Goody to it by a bit more than 30 minutes(maybe 35 min) . And the price was "very" right.
I haven't shot it yet, haven't had time, maybe soon. It is in extremely good shape, tight and works correctly and veeery smooth.
It's is a 2nd Model .31 cal. Pocket Revolver 2nd variant serial #102xx , late production.

Hey backstabber er Backshooter, tell you what, next time we shoot together, you be the target holder and I'll shoot it both ways. If you'll hold still I'll try not to miss too much. If I do you can tell me, O. K.?
