What does this mean?

Dear Joe,

Thank you for the additional images and your patience. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a small safety hammer double-action pistol made by an unknown producer. It has a patent from April 5. 1887. It could be made by the producer Harrington & Richardson.
Comparable small pistols were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.  This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 60 to 120 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
 George

Hi George,

I hope these pics help. There is very little for markings or stamps just what I sent you. I wish I knew more about it. My Dad had it for years from his family. Let me know if you need more pics.

Thank you,
Joe
