Hi Alicia ,and welcome to the forum ....the break on your gun is in a very thin spot ,not much there to work with ,but it would really need to be in the hands of the person doing the work for a proper assessment ...one good thing though ,it looks quite clean and it is of the utmost importance you keep it that way until it gets in the hands of the person doing the work ...the cleaner the break the better the potential repair

The barrels have been sleeved and reproved in Britan meaning the original set was cut just ahead of the chambers and fitted with new fluid steel tubes, this was done because of the unfounded paranoia of the day regarding the strength of Damascus ,if that's what the originals were ...or maybe possible damage of the original set, not a good thing in the eyes of a collector but not so serious to a shooter.

The gun has great engraving and nice wood ,IMHO it is definitely worth looking into a clean up and potential repair .

Good luck with it
