Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. Very helpful information.
OK, so it seems I am good with keeping it (not a felon, no other family members wanting it, etc.) And a few of you were correct in thinking that it was not a service weapon. My bad, I should have known by the caliber (and brand for that matter), but I was thinking that it could have been one of several weapons that he was issued. And, in the case with the gun is a registration receipt with the Camp Lejeune Office of Military Police. I mistook that for a receipt of issuance, but he must have just bought it on his own and then registered it with the base police.
It's a Ruger Single Six. Nice gun, in good shape and all original. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks again all.
