Interesting gun. I believe the serial number is actually 5555. The fact that you were told that it was a saloon gun could mean it was originally a large caliber or gauge gun with a chamber insert to fire a small caliber projectile akin to a 22 long or 22 short, a BB cap or CB cap. It possibly was ordered that way for a "loop" around some tax or prohibition on large caliber or gauge guns. Perhaps it was modified or re-barreled to it's current gauge.
It's possible that you were informed incorrectly to begin with.
Either way, it is what it is now. Just a thought.
