Dear Robert,
Thank you for the additional images and your second look.
The presented object appears to be a German Model 1879 Reichsrevolver. This revolver was developed and introduced in the military service of all German states to standardized the military equipment of the German military. Because of this decentralization, the Reichsrevolver was produced by many different manufacturers which usually stamp their products with a company logo and later the weapons get proof marks by the Army. This revolver is just stamped with the number 8483.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 500 to 900 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,
Georg

Thanks Georg! How do I go about selling ?
Hello Robert,
Thank you for your inquiry about consigning through Mearto. When you submitted your item to us for appraisal, did you select "yes" or "maybe" when you were asked if it was for sale? If so, your item automatically entered a database, which is accessed by a number of regional and international auction houses actively seeking new items for consignment. If there is any interest, they will contact you directly through our platform. You will receive an email notification if one of them makes an inquiry. If you selected "no" when asked if the item was for sale, you can change this so that your item enters the database. Just visit "my collection," select the item, then click the "edit item" button at the top of the page. On the resulting page, click "yes" or "maybe" to answer the question: "Are you looking to sell this item?" Good luck and if there's anything else I can do to help, please just let me know!
With kind regards,
Georg
The number on the cylinder is 8483
