Need help identifying this gun(lots of pics)

[Southwind]

My Nephew bought an old house and found this gun in the attic. Almost no markings other than J. W. C. on each side of the barrel near the cylinder and a stamp that looks like a star and the letters PK on the cylinder. Trying to find out what it is and any help from you gun experts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

can you do a better picture of the proof mark, it looks like a star with PK below it. and any of the pictures that you might want to take over with a little more light

If there is no markings like Remington, it may be a Confederate manufacture......MO

the star was used as a Russian proof. the JWC I can't ID, it is a different looking revolver and I would really like to see better pictures

I'm thinking that J.W.C. was the owners initials that he stamped on the gun ? cch
