Help with identifying my gun.
Please assist in identifying this gun. It seems to be in very good condition with all the nickel still present. Pics show serial number and identifying markings. My guess is a breakaway 32 model 2 possibly - guesstimates of value would be helpful as well.

Welcome! This is a .32 Double Action. Unfortunately my little phone screen can't make out the SN or the details of the finish, but someone else will be along with more information.

Welcome to the Forum. You have a 32 Double Action Second Model in nickel. This model was made from 1880 to 1882, with about 22,000 manufactured.
With that serial number, your gun would have shipped probably close to the end of the 2nd Model - 1882. The star indicates the gun was returned to the factory for repair or refinish. If you remove the stocks, look for a 3 or 4 number stamp on the left side of the butt frame. That would be the month and year the revolver was returned.
Value is not that high, since there were over 327,000 of all models made. It is in nice shape and I would think the value might be around $350 - $300.

Additional information. With that date it is an official BATFE pre-1899 antique, therefore it is not considered as being a firearm in most (not all) jurisdictions. That fact makes it worth a bit more.
