Thanks for the replies. I will get a photo and serial number information later this week. He is out of town for the next few days. In the mean time I'll run down some of the links given.
After talking to him yesterday I found this gun was handed down to him by an old uncle ~1950. The uncle owned a bar and kept it for protection. It was never used by him according to legend. My father-in-law and his father fired a box (?) of ammo through it when it was passed on. It was cleaned and put in a case where it has stayed for 60+ years. It is a beautiful old gun. It seems a shame to not give it a little exercise now and then.
