Thanks Ken,
As I am sure you know the 38 W.C.F is also known as the 38-40. So it seems that the most likely chambering for this gun is either the 38-40 or the 38-55. In both case the second portion of the caliber name refers only to the amount of grains of black powder original used in the loads. However despite the fact that both names start with a "38" neither is actually a .38 caliber bullet.
The .38-40 uses a .401 bullet...
The .38-55 uses a .375 bullet...
Given these two facts, if I can get a hold of the gunsmith that originally slugged the barrel hopefully he can tell what he came up with and it will turn out to be .401.
Given the facts above, have seen any similar models sell lately, and what do they usually go for?
Once again, thanks for your help...
