It is actually an 'Iver Johnson' product, likely made around the turn of the last century
( 1900-1910 ) and not a martial or military issue pistol. It's a copy of a 'top-break'
revolver based on a Smith & Wesson design from about 20 or 30 years earlier
( 1870's-1880's ).

Thank you for responding to me on the gun. do you have any clue as to what someone would pay for this gun. And how did you find out information on the gun?

The name on the gun, for one. Firearm manufacturers used names like:
'American Gun Co.', or as yours: 'U.S. Revolver Co.' as a marketing
strategy. These types were generally of lesser quality - usually
quite plain in compairison to the brand name product.

Also, as Zwerge says, Google 'US Revolver Co.' for more info.........
