similar thing happened to me from my god mother when i was a 10yr old. Old (pre serial number days) ..32 revolver. My old man filled the barrel and cylinder with lead and mounted it for me.......probably worth a fortune now as it is an old gun......
make anonymous call to local gun shop. was it ever used in a crime??????? may be worth a lot of dough.........
Thanks for the advice. I doubt it was ever used in a crime, he was from Pennsylvania Dutch stock. It was likely acquired in his youth or maybe when he was in the Army, probably purchased for sport more than anything else.
by the way, if it is old, the ammo, and especially the box if you have it may be worth more than the gun. Guys at gun shows lately have been goin gaga over old ammo boxes for some reason.........
