H&R Top Break Paperweight?

[fuzebox40]

Hello all. A friend recently bought this gun for around 80 bucks I think and I am servicing it. We expect $80 is likely a fair market value but realy all we know of it at this point is what we see. I would like to return it with a bit more detail such as age, value, amo type and of course how many brave men have fallen in it's bloody path of distruction, hardy har.
Here's what I can see; the barrel is 4" with name, address and patents across the bridge of the barrel reading; Harrington & Richardson Arms Company Worcester Mass. USA Pat. Oct.4.87, May 14 & Aug. 6.89, April 2.95, April 7 1896.
Serial number under the top strap reads E95095 and again on the handle under the left grip minus the letter code. No other markings that I can find. Appears to be a 38 and the included pictures will best tell the rest. Thanks for any help on this.
