Thanks to all for the advice and comment. Once I get it home I'll tinker a bit more to see if I can get the barrels off. Then it is off to a competent gunsmith for a good cleaning and check-up before I shoot it - and shoot it I will.
Enlighten me, if there is an order book entry but no stock book entry is it possible to get some meaningful information by ordering a letter? The real reason I bought the gun was to own a piece of history and to pass it to my grandson someday.
Thanks again and when possible I'll post some pictures to see if your assessment of condition agrees with mine.
