Mystery Revolver Question

A number of years ago my grandfather had a revolver. I was pretty young at the time and don't remember much about it. It was either a .22 or .25. Small frame. Blued finish. 5 or 6 inch barrel. The retail box it was in said "Lucky 7" or "Lucky Number Seven" in big letters because it was a 7 shot. I want to say the box might have been green or green and brown. My uncle has unfortunately since sold it so I don't even have a reference anymore.
It's a real crap shoot, but does anyone have any idea what it could have been or who the manufacturer was? Has anyone ever come across the same box?

So, it ain't necessarily a Rohm.
added Well perhaps you should consider looking at some old catalogs like a Sears and Roebuck 1900's catalog it might jar your memory a little. I once had a nice little H&R 9 shooter. The cylinder pin was used to push out the empties but I think it had a notch in the shield so rounds could be pushed into the empty cylinder. It was a very good shooting pistol, shouldn't have gave it away. Just a thought a 7 could be a worn 9 on an old box.
Model 1 Revolver
Originally called the Seven Shooter, the Model 1 was introduced in 1857. This .22 rim fire revolver was the first practical cartridge revolver and its introduction heralded the end of percussion firearms.
Neither of those styles match what I remember. I should restate what I said about the cylinder. It definitely wasn't a swing-out. But I think you might have been able to load and unload it without having to take it out. My dad did so because I think he wasn't sure on how to get the rounds out that were already in there. So he just ended up taking the whole cylinder off.
