Thank you Skeettx for posting the pictures also Thank you Walter for some History on the Gun. The person I purchased it from had been using it, he was loading brass shells with black powder. Not sure how safe it is to shoot but he was having no problem. He gave me a box of 25 with the gun. I may give it a try not sure though. I am always cautious about shooting a 125 year old gun. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you all for your interest and help with these great instruments of the past.
