Found the following over on WikiAnswers, it may help some.

What is information on a Howard Arms Co 38 revolver that has stamped on the Barrell Secret Service Special?   



Answer
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.
