Elmer, The gun has been reblued totally where it would have had case colors on frame and hardware. the Stock has been altered or is a replacement. Does it have a lot of cast to it and is the top tang straight. The sling swivels are most likely added later although the factory did install some. The rubber butt is added. Period case would add but probably was not factory PB did sell cases early on. SS # detracts from value.
Barrel guard was probably leathercovered originally if manufactured but I am not aware that PB ever manufactured one itself.
I have 2 PH guns myself and if the barrels are of adequate wall thickness then it may be shootable with low pressure loads. If you haven't shot it for many years a gunsmith should check it out before firing.
