Thanks to both of you, I'm starting to learn a lot. How do you get a shipment date?

Murphydog, Thanks you have verified some info I just found on another gun collectors site. Should I restore it completely for display or leave it alone, what do you think?

Here's two pics, hope this helps

Hello, I'm brand new to this. Mostly a woodworker but like to check out old guns that I have inherited over the years. I just got two hand guns from what I think is from the 1870's to 1880s. The one has a patent reissue date of July 25, 1871 and on the bottom of the grip a no. 40188. Anyone...
