    Default spencer .22 revolver

    I have a Spencer .22 revolver, model 1894 that I cannot find anything anywhere in regards to this gun. Any help would be appreciated.

    Here's whats written in "Flaydermans's Guide to Antique American Firearms...and their values":

    SPENCER SAFETY HAMMERLESS REVOLVER
    Spencer Safety Hammerless Double Action Revolver. Made by Otis Smith of Conn.: Maltby, Henley and Company, NY were agents, c. 1890. Total unknown, Estimated at few thousand. .32 caliber centerfire, five-shot 3" round ribbed barrel. Marked on barrel: SPENCER SAFETY HAMMERLESS PAT. JAN. 24, 1888 & OCT. 29, 1889.
    Its distinctive all brass construction (i.e. brass barrel, frame and trigger guard all made integral with only the cylinder of steel) classifies this as an American arms oddity. A very similar model, smaller; 22RF also made with iron frame and 2 1/2" barrel. Similar markings and CAL 22 MODEL 1894. Very scarce. Worth 20% to 30% premium. Values - VG $125 Exc. $275 (Note: these are 7th Edition 1998 values, I'd guess that they should be about 20% higher by now, maybe more.)
