Thanks for the replies. The research I have done on the revolver has revealed it was made in Dec, 1885 - I know nothing about the generation. The serial number is 116xxx, I can see a very faint DEC stamped above the serial number on the bottom of the frame in front of the trigger guard. It actually belongs to a very good friend of mine. His family passed it down thru 3 generations, he has no plans of shooting it. Basically it sits in a safe. After I get it cleaned I will try to post a few pics, he is also somewhat curious to the approximate value so I'm sure pics will help with that.
