I am thinking this will most def. be a wall hanger, as it will not be safe to shoot. It is a very pretty gun with the bright silver looking action and sidelocks. As I said, BP proofs and very soft metal; I just put the file on the back side of receiver tang and moved it lightly - leaving marks. when I tried the same with a checkering tool, it stuck immediately in the metal. I will have a good learning experience inletting the stock and finishing the stock. Assembling the locks and action have already been very educational. Thanks guys for all your thoughts.
