Superb looking piece!!

And then , someone like me thinks,,,,'wonder if it has ever been fired'.

And then someone like you say's,,,,'peasant, how dare you think that, it would ruin it's historical value!'.

That is whut I wuz thinkin' . . . . "How does it shoot" . . . 

My neighbor back east had a Smith & Weston engraved my Nimsky.   It had been fired.  One shot.  Ya could swing out the cylinder and see the one slightly dirty chamber.  They test fired all the presentation guns before they were shipped.  It was a presentation for the king of Egypt.  He was assassinated and so it was never sent to him.

Whats the point of a gun thats never shot? 
Part of the historical value is that Walt's the only one thats fired it! 

It's very acurate! and been well cleaned!
