Can someone teach me about this pistol??

I think it's supposed to be a "gamblers pocket pistol"

Probably as good a definition as any. I wouldn’t shoot it on a bet, I like having ten digits on each hand !

For sure. They are often called Mississippi or New Orleans Derringers, popular on the gambling boats of the region. You can still find them in kit form. It looks like 10-20 grains of fffg powder are common loads under a patched .380 round ball. Obviously, consult a verified source for all load data.
