Model #2? Single shot? Caliber? A Patent date on it?

After researching the guns background I now know its actually a #3 single shot .41 cal and the serial # has been located it is 3409 and i believe it is nickel plated with either rosewood or walnut grips. The date on it is NOV 1861 and i can not remember what else it says on the top of the barrell. compared to pictures of other guns of this type it is in extremely good shape with almost no pittingat all.
May want to sell and am now wondering what its worth!
Thanks

A Vest Pocket / Split breach "No 3 size" because it's a .41 rimfire, I've never heard it called a #3. It should be OCT 1 1961 NOV 15 1964. Value is dependend on confition, condition, and condition. Without gun in hand or very good description / pictures a value is difficult. Best to watch gunbroker, gunamerica, or an auction for like condition.
