Welcome to the forum.

It looks like it may be a .38 Double-Action revolver, .38 S&W caliber, 3rd, 4th or 5th Model. There will be a s/n on the butt that would help narrow it down, including approximate date of manufacture.

edit:

I don't see a pinned front sight, so if that is the case it that may narrow it down to 5th model. About 15,000 of those were made from 1909 to ~1911.

Yes! That was what I could not see in the other pics. So, Pinned front sight and s/n, 3rd model, .38 S&W, 1884-1895. First double-action .38 caliber S&W made. Hopefully someone can help with the engraving and the stocks.

I believe the engraving style is called "Floral Scroll", and also New York Style, and looks like it may be from the same period, late 19th Century.

Unfortunately I can't be much help with a price. It is an antique gun, and values are not predictable, even in the US, and especially engraved. There are not many sales recorded online to base a value on. Second, the condition is hard to judge from pics alone. Finally, the value in your country could be very different.
