Starr Arms cap and ball revolver ID

Was wondering if anyone could help me out with a Firearm ID.
My Grandfather recently passed away at the age of 94. Fortunatley I was given an old revolver from the civil war. I have been looking on websites and cannot seem to find an exact ID for this gun.

The info I have is as follows:

Cap and Ball revolver manufactured by Staar Arms out of new york under patent January 15, 1856.

i have been albe to locate several other revolvers manufactured by Starr arms but not this specific one.

the markings are as follows.

Serial number on revolver cylinder: 8064
"W" engraved on left side rear barrel and "H" Right side rear barrel.

8064 seiral number on inside of hammer..

If anyone can help me with this Id or direct me to someone that can it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
