I'd send images to the gunsmithing program at Trinidad State College. The instructors there may be able to tell if the gun was made by Ackley or one of his students.
I learned that Ackley held classes at his gunshop, which wasn't on campus. The building burnt down years ago and a metal building stands in its place today.
