    Nah, that’s not it at all. Looks almost exactly like this Frank Wesson 1870 Large Frame Pocket Rifle Second Type with Stock

      Using “pocket rifle” the actual one pops right up.

      It’s apparently called the “New Model Pocket and Bicycle Rifle” and was made by J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co.

        My brain is very tickled imagining Calamity Jane riding by with her pocket gun on her bicycle

      That looks like it’s more for target practice than an actual fight.

      Oh yes, it does! Not surprising she’d use different guns I guess. A little difficult to look up “Calamity Jane’s gun” because it’s the name of a gunseller, but Lensing the image brought up other pics of her.
