There were three American companies that marked a revolver known as "Secret Service Special." The Iver Johnson had a manual safety located on the frame. The H&R and the Meriden Firearms models did not. The H&R has a hammer-mounted firing pin, while the Meriden has a frame-mounted firing pin. They were made at different times, shortly after the 1900s- but despite the name, none were for the use of the US Secret Service.

Secret Service Special was a trade name used on inexpensive revolvers retailed by the Rohde-Spencer Company of Chicago. The Howard Arms Co name was distributed by H&D Folsom, usually on shotguns made by their subsidiary company, Crescent Firearms, or imported from Belgium. If R-S ordered revolvers from Folsom, they would quite possibly have both names.

What is the value and date of a 5 shot revolver with Secret Service Special written on the barrel and serial number 227022?
Per an earlier answer in this forum from Alvin and Roy, "Secret Service Special was a trade name used on inexpensive revolvers retailed by the Rohde-Spencer Company of Chicago. The Howard Arms Co name was distributed by H&D Folsom, usually on shotguns made by their subsidiary company, Crescent Firearms, or imported from Belgium. If R-S ordered revolvers from Folsom, they would quite possibly have both names." Folsom operated in the early 20th century. If the gun was imported, there should be proof marks from the country of origin. If there is no manufacturer's name, it most certainly is of the inexpensive class once known as a "suicide special," and later called a "Saturday night special."

In this case, Smith & Wesson refers to the cartridge, and not the maker of your revolver- which was not used by the US Secret Service. The distributor was the Fred Biffar Company of Chicago, and were made by a least 4 different companies, including Meriden and Iver Johnson (whoever gave Fred the best price got the order) These were inexpensive revolvers, and would be worth $50-90, depending on condition.
