    You got the S&W copy right, the single shot is a under lever Parlor Pistol, for indoor target shooting. Is it marked for caliber? Can you find any proof marks?

        Both should have Belgian proofs somewhere on them, that'll give a better idea of time frame they were made.
        Parlor pistols were usually a rimfire using the primer charge with no powder. Majority of them were Floberts, or Flobert clones, but your action would be much stronger.
        The S&W clone isn't near as strong as the real thing, if you plan on shooting it, use real light loads.
