The revolver appears to be in mint condition. A local gun shop owner looked at the photos and his opinion was that the revolver shows handing marks.
If this revolver has had limited use should I shoot with it or keep in a box?
Is a revolver in mint condition worth any more than one that is not?
I suppose I'll need to buy another model to shoot at the range.

Of course a revolver in mint condition is worth more than one that is not. Stands to reason.
However, we need pics. Turn rings really mean nothing relative to unfired. Why, people dry fire them, and cycle the action, and that creates a turn ring. And of course, how sharp is your cylinder stop?. I try to look at the front of the cylinder for 3 charge holes that show use, the forcing cone, and of course the recoil shield
