thats incredible news! I can't believe it's that old. it is a 5 inch barrel for sure. this is not a gun to be fired, correct? modern ammo would be dangerous? i do not know the condition of the insides, but might take it to a gun dealer or someone else local. whats the value of a gun like this? i dont want to sell it but want to know what i have :P. a quick scan on gunbroker shows ones in great shape and most the nickel for 8-900.
