Looks to me to have extremely thick walls on barrels, so I cannot help but wonder if this is a .22 conversion from some original caliber or gauge gun. Additionally, gun is of quite an old style double; not likely originally .22 caliber. Difficult to assess, but an examination of the gun itself, would quickly determine a thing or two about this particular gun and its chambering.

Cute little bugger.

It will be interesting to see if it actually is a.22LR or one of the other 5.6mm variations.

Agreed! What is the weight?

I think the thick walls might not be that thick when you hold it in your hands!
