Sounds like a Featherweight Takedown, with the 20" barrel. Does it have a straight grip?? They cost about $25 new, can't tell you what it's worth now but check a few auction sights and see what they are going for.
The nickname for it was the "Imp".

Post some pics!!

More commonly called the 1899H.

The .22 HP round uses a non-standard .22 caliber bullet. I can't remember if it's over .224 or under. You can find the proper bullets, however, for reloading.
