That's a pretty early gun. Have you measured or tried the chambers? Mine originally had chambers for brass shells. I know this because the only factory record was when the owner sent it back to the factory to have the chambers rebored for paper shells. This was well into the 1900's and cost $1.25 including return.

The chambers measure 2 5/8"
