William, your gun was built in 1883. It's not listed in the Serilization book but from your picture, it's either a Grade 0 or Grade 1 toplever hammer gun with a round knob pistol grip.

From your picture it looks like it has a good amount of case colors on the receiver. If it is and it's original, it effects the value quite a bit. Also the condition of the barrels such as pitting inside and outside of the barrels and the amount of blueing remaining. Measure the length of the barrels too.

If you can, post as many closeup photo's in focus of the receiver (all sides) and you'll get a better opinion of value. Also post a picture of the barrel flats in focus so we can see the markings.
