    It's not going to have much monetary value. Maybe a few hundred bucks. I have an Iver Johnson that's very similar. That being said, it should make a perfectly serviceable gun that you will enjoy shooting.

        My aunt gave me one that belonged to my grand father twenty or so years ago. I've never shot it and don't intend to, but it's a nice family heirloom. The US Revolver Company, however, does have an interesting history. Read up on them. A model similar to that one was used in the assassination of President McKinley and another was used during an attempt on President Franklin Roosevelt.

          What's the history of it in your family OP? Was it your mom's originally?

          Big D, my dad left me an Iver Johnson .22 revolver. If I remember as a kid the darn thing misfired as often as it fired. I just kept it in the family to eventually give to my nephew.
          Buy made in USA whenever possible.

            It's trade in material.

              No known history. My mom kept it when she was the executor of my great aunts estate.

                Have one somewhere. 5 shot in 38 s&w or 38 short. Break top model. Mine is no longer safe to shoot.

                  If you can get a few hundred bucks for it take the money and run. More like $100 or less.

                          Take it to a gun buyback that will give a premium for a handgun.

                            Well it's not a valuable gun in the first place, I'm not sure you'll find many buyers at any price. Not trying to be a jerk but it's truly a bargain basement piece. I hate to say it but i'm kind of on board with the gun buyback idea. Tell them it's an assault revolver.
                            Buy made in USA whenever possible.
