Dollar value may not be much, but the other value? Think ahead about twenty years and what you tell the grandkids about it.

I would buy one to have as an additional home defense weapon.

These were made by Iver johnson's arms & cycle works from 1910 - 1935. They were offered in small frame a large frame and in three calibers: .38 centerfire, .32 centerfire and .22 rimfire. The main serial number is on the left gripframe, in order to see it, you need to remove the grip.

also, the usd value if everything works as it's supposed to it worth around $200,-, but when it has some minor issues it's about $130m,-

I played with a broken one of those when I was a kid. My father told me that when he married my mom (the late 1920s) the pistol was operational, and he jokingly told her "Hey woman, I want squirrel for dinner." My mom, who was 17 at the time, picked up the pistol, walked out to the nearby trees on the farm, fired one shot, and a squirrel dropped from the top of a tree. She turned to my Dad and said "I killed it, you skin it."
My Father told me "Son, I have always been nice to your mother since that day."

That's a neat find. I, too, came into a U.S. Revolver top-break revolver recently! It belonged to my grandpa when he was a kid (1910's-1920's-ish). It is quite worn and shows a lot of use. I have never fired it, but I think it is one cool little gun. Not worth much money, but has a lot of sentimental value.
BTW, by way of explanation, it had no grips when I got it, so excuse my crudely sanded S&W grips. I'll give it a better set of grips one of these days.
