I have a small bag of revolver parts that is marked US Revolver Vest Pocket Safety .22 short. The only Vest Pocket information I can find is for a Rosco, which this is not. Any/all help is appreciated.
I have attached three photos of the parts I have.

Most likely an Iver Johnson or Harrington & Richardson hammerless model. The parts look in very good condition.
US Revolver was its own company and trade mark.
The March 1991 issue of American Rifleman has an exploded view of the I.J. Model 1900 Double Action and concurrently made U.S. Double Action (U.S. Revolver) made from common parts, cosmetic differences only, although the U.S. versions were said to be cheaper. The accompanying article gives some history of the connection between the two.
Thank you for the responses!
For more info, Google "U.S. Revolver Company Gun Values Board", there is an article with some history, which seems to be in short supply.
Definitely not a US Revolver -
"There are no known .22 hammerless models produced."
An online search for "H & R Vest Pocket revolver" will bring up a number of pictures of this small DA handgun. This was a variant of the H & R Young America Safety Hammer model.
Found a pic of internal parts from Young America Safety Hammer model and they look very much like yours. The Vest Pocket .22 is small frame.
