Smith and Wesson help

[paradigm76]

Hi group,

I was hoping someone can give me some accurate information that I inherited recently due to a passing in my family. I would like to know all about this gun regarding its age and background and maybe an approximate value. This was my great grandfathers pistol, I never knew him but do know that he was from England and fought in the Boer War and moved to Cape Breton. I am not sure if this was his gun from the army or just something he had for around the farm. I am not sure how to post pictures of it so some help on that would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

I'm not much help with antiques but you might want to post a description of the firearm eg what's on the barrel, caliber, length, action, finish etc if you can't post pics. Those in the know may be able to help if they know where to start. Good luck.
