New acquisition

[waksupi]

I picked this up at a local gun shop yesterday. I hadn't known it was up for auction at the time. This shop is smaller than the average bathroom, but he gets some very nice quality guns in the door.

Can you shoot these old guns?

I shot this yesterday, using a light load of 1F. It is in such good condition, I was comfortable shooting it, although a gun this age I would never hot rod it.
