Default Help Identify

A relative recently passed and left behind these 2 handguns. I'll list them seperately to avoid confusion. Please share your knowledge, thoughts and opinions as I don't really know anything about these old guys. I even had to google to learn how they operate. I have fired both guns, and I think they enjoyed it after being tucked away for decades. I'm interested in their age and value particularly. Chances are I will list them for sale here in the classified forum or an auction. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, new Texas member here.

By serial number 227161 this gun is a .38 Double Action 3rd Model made in a serial range of 119001 - 322700 from 1884 to 1895 thereby qualifying it as an antique. Unfortunately it has also been refinished as indicated by the plated trigger, hammer and trigger guard. Original finish was a blued trigger guard and case hardened trigger and hammer.
Other than that the gun appears to be in nice condition and would be considered a "shooter", but not a collectable. The value should fall in the $100-150 range.
