huskerbob,
I wouldn’t be too quick to write the old boy off. Not to demean your man, but many gunsmiths don’t possess the necessary experience/expertise to work on these old revolvers. As cgt4575 said, it might be something as simple as a spring or a good cleaning. If you post most of the serial number (i.e. 123XXX), someone with more knowledge than me will come along shortly and give you all kinds of info and recommendations about your dad’s gun. Good shootin’,
Doug
Edit: Looks like you may have already posted and received more info about this gun in another thread. I’d still consider an experienced revolver gunsmith before giving up.
