Hey all, I've had this pistol in my possession for a few years now but I still don't know all that I could about it and google isn't that big of a help. It's been passed down through the family for many generations and I'm postive that it's definitely not operational. It's functional and everything works from the trigger to the shell extractor but I know it couldn't handle a bullet. My question for this thread is can anyone give me any more history behind it. All I know is its a very early Stevens model .22 manufactured somewhere between 1866-1875 in Chicopee Falls, MA.
