Hi Danny,
It's not unique for sure, but it's a very nice example of a type more often seen in terrible condition. Worthy of restoring and display!
An interesting note on the Pinfire system was that the protruding pin meant that misuse, dropping, banging or otherwise careless handling could mean an unexpected firing!
If you google 'pinfire revolver' you'll see an endless supply of images of this sort of pistol in various sizes and calibres. It was a very popular form.
If the calibre isn't obvious, then you can probobly guage it with the help of a .177 Airgun Pellet which is 4.5mm.
Pinfire amunition is interesting:
