Re: Can you ID this old rifle?
It would be interesting to know what the patent is actually for.
The rimfire wasn't even invented until late 1859 (S&W) so it was predominantly percussion while the rimfire grew in size (and low pressures) until around the 1870's. This .54 has to be a rimfire.

Re: 380 acp
I also don't think the 380 is a bad round but with the size of 9mm's they are making now there is little to no advantage of a 380 vs a 9mm in size of the handgun anymore. There are valid reasons why you might prefer the 380 over the 9mm, but for availability and price of ammo you just can't beat 9mm.
