Anybody know what this is?

This is another small pistol that hung over my grandpa's fireplace. Brass, smooth-bore barrel, 4 1/8". I disassembled but found no markings. Appears to be .36 cal. It's a cool little pistol, doubt I will fire it, but any recommended loads or other info appreciated.

It might have been a home made pistol from spare parts. I made one of spare parts I had laying around in the shop including a cut off rifle barrel.

I seem to remember these available as a really inexpensive kit back in the 60s and possibly earlier but I could be confusing this with something similar. I would not exceed 10grains of 3f.
