It would depend on the make and model. The .38 Special was introduced in about 1898, so it had been on the market a few years. An average price may have been around $10-14. As a suggestion, there have been several reprints of the early Sears catalogs- which your library can get on an inter library loan- and Sears DID sell handguns- by mail. See what date you can find close to 1915, get the catalog, and see what Sears sold them for. PS- in the 1896 catalog, Sears had a .22 revolver for 69 cents.
