What kind of metal is it made from. Is it heavy like a real revolver would feel or lighter like a kids toy (pot metal)? From the picture, it looks more like a kids toy. The trigger guard is missing. If it were a real gun, it would be pretty difficult to lose that.

...as well as the hammer.

Can you tell if the cylinder is a seperate piece?

it looks and feels like a real metal, like the one you would use to make a spoon or a fork
and yeah alot of things are missing and falling apart
I noticed a 4 0 5 on the handguard. the O in the middle is just a large circle so i'm thinking .45 rounds? (if it's a real weapon)

I can't really tell for the cylinder because the whole gun is sticking from everywhere and nothing can move because of the rust, but I noticed a metal wire near it that is around an other piece.

The hammer is missing

This is what it looks like inside, with the wire I was talking earlier (the grip fell apart as well)

I am gonna say it was once a really nice toy gun, long before they all went plastic and fake.

Here is a disassembled Colt for comparison.

That still looks like what is referred to as "pot metal" to me. Even the way it has corroded looks like pot metal. A real gun would have red rust all over it. Like oppo said, I think it was a cap gun once upon a time.
