I am looking for any history on this table and I was also wondering if it is worth anything before I decide to sell it locally or on a website.  Any info would help to see if its worth the trouble because it looks like real wood and thats hard to find these days let alone Made in USA.  Table also has one drawer.  Thanks in advance!

This gun has some surface rust on the outside and on the inside of the barrell. The rifling is still good and the mechanics of the gun are still tight. The handle is made of what looks like black plastic and it is in excellent condition. Across the top of the barrell, are the words Smith and Wesson, Springfield, Mass. and then patent dates of May 11, 1880, Jan. 3, 1882, and April 21, 1889. The serial number is 430098.

The binding is coming loose and a few of the illustrations have come out but I have them all.  I have both books mentioned above.
