That is the .38 Double Action, Second Model. They were made from 1880 to 1884, with about 115,000 made, so it is an antique under federal law. With so many made, they are pretty common and don't bring big bucks. Also that one appears to have been re-nickeled, which effectively eliminates any collector interest. Worse, the grips, while they appear to be genuine mother of pearl, don't fit the gun well and are in poor condition. They may have been taken from another gun.
I would say that the retail value would be under $200, and that on a good day.
