Welcome to TFF.

That patent date was used on small two-shot pistols with vertically stacked barrels that were rotated manually.

They were made 1868 to 1880 in two sizes, .22 caliber and a larger .32 caliber.

Value depends on which size and the condition, and you will need to post clear photos.

Thank you for your answer. it's exactly what you describe. It is in perfect condition and in order for action. i don't know the exact size but in french it's 6 mm i believe .
I have a few photos but i don't know how to send them from this forum (i am on my smartphone) but if you give me your email i can send them to you.
Thanks.

6 mm indicates it is the .22 caliber version. The .32 would be 7 mm.

Flayderman's Guide lists two variations (values shown are in U.S. dollars and are for the U.S. market):
