Default .38 Cal S&W Secrect Service Special 1917

I have a .38 Cal Smith and Wesson Secrect Service Special, serial number 11, that was manufactured April 22, 1917. It is a five round, single action (pull the trigger), break down like a single shot shotgun, and I believe the rear sight is adjustable.

Is their anyone out there that can tell me the history of this revolver and does it have any value.

Thanks
