You need to get it appraised for insurance reasons. The Appraiser can tell you when it was made. If you know any history of the gun write it down and keep it with the gun. It's not cast iron, only the very earliest guns were, but it is a lower grade steel than we have now. DO NOT ,EVER, NEVER SHOOT IT WITH SMOKELESS AMMO. It appears to be in shooting condition, with ammo it was designed to use.
It appears to be a nice old gun.
