US Revolver / Iver Johnson
32 cal?

U.S. Revolver was a trade name used by Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle works on pocket revolvers. They also manufactured the same revolvers under the names, Encore, Eclipse, Favorite, Tycoon, and Eagle.

The closest thing I could find in my Illustrated Book of Guns was a Trocaola British Army Revolver. Matches it almost perfect except for caliber. It states that it was made to look like the S&W revolver and at first glance would be mistaken for it. I also seen several other that were similar and the captions under those imply that many companies were in fact making copies of S&W revolvers to help sell their guns, some out right pirated and some just similar. I never found a S&W though that resempals what they said was being copied!
