You will either have to push or pull on the cylinder latch. If it doesn't have one, try to unscrew the ejector and see if that will free the cylinder.
The crane is the short metal arm that holds the cylinder at the forward end. The crane moves to let the cylinder swing out away from the gun's frame for loading and unloading.
There are at least two different designs for this revolver- one WITH acylinder release latch, one without. The cylinder release is a checkered metal plate on the left side, above the trigger. Push the release forward, and swing the cylinder out to the left.For the version with no cylinder release latch, grasp the extractor rod (thin rod that sticks out of the front of the cylinder) between thumb and finger, pull forward, and while holding, swing cylinder out to left.
Need a detailed description of ALL markings.
Depends on the revolver. Some inexpensive guns had a removable cylinder pin- it would be removed, the cylinder could now be removed, and the pin used to eject empties. Older revolvers may have been "top break" guns- raising the cylinder latch permitted to barrel and cylinder to swing open on a hing, much like a double barreled shotgun opens.
Usually stamped on the frame. Swing out the cylinder, and it's below where the barrel meets the frame. Usually starts with a"K", or "1K",etc. On older S&W revolvers, it was stamped on the butt of the gun.
When you swing out the cylinder, it'll be visible on the frame under the piece that holds the barrel.
Unlike a current day S&W or Colt, the cylinder does not swing out to load. By flipping the loading gate open, you can load cartridges into the cylinder one at a time. When closed, it keeps the cartridges from falling out.
When you swing out the cylinder, it'll be visible on the frame under the piece that holds the barrel.

"Swing Heil" was a phrase coined by the Swing Kids (mostly teenaged jazz and swing lovers from Germany in the 1930s)The Swing Kids apposed the Rational Socialist Ideology of Germany, and expecially the Hitlerjugend. "Swing Heil" is a twist on "Seig Heil" which is a pro-nazi phrase.
Many S & W's have the # just above where the crane fits into the frame. Swing the cylinder open, look about one inch down from where the barrel screws into the revolver frame. It is there in small print
there is a pair of serrated knobs one on each side of the HAMMER. grab both of the knobs (with thumb and next finger) and pull up and the cylinder will swing up away from the frame........................it's on a hinge.............
