Assuming there's nothing mechanically wrong with it, you'll be amazed how accurate that revolver is.

dont most antique firearms dealers say that trying to "repair/redo" an old finish is actually going to decrease the value?

It's not that bad for a pre WWI gun. Almost 100 years old! But.. I wont be refinishing this one!

Its going in a shadow box and going to be displayed in the office.

That's nice. It'll be cool in a shadow box. You should find some old cartridges to go with it. I used to have a handful of 38's that had U.S. stamped on the PRIMER. It was old stuff. I'll have to look and see if I kept them. If I did you could have 'em. I wouldn't shoot them anyway...I wouldn't be afraid to, but with a pistol like yours do they belong.

You've gotta shoot it!!!

I looked where I thought they'd be, but my shop is a disaster. After work this evening I'll do some diggin.

Oh BTW, yes you absolutely have to shoot it! Just some light bunny fart loads, but you gotta shoot it at least a few times. It's a moral imperative!

Cool. Lucky you!

Glad your not eager to refinish it. I always cringe when asked to do collectible classics like those.
