  Please see the "sticky about posting photos, and get some good ones of your revolver. Whitneyville guns (as in Eli Whitney- guy that created the cotton gin) were from the 1800s, fairly scarce, and depending on condition, model, etc, can be worth some $$$.

  The standard collector reference for antique U.S. firearms is a book called, "Flaydermann's Guide's " It's up to the 9th edition now. Since it has become a standard reference work, most libraries have one.
  
  The small Whitney revolvers date to the 1860's/70's time frame. There were a number of different variations. Get hold of the Guide for help in identification and valuation.
