It looks like the tip of the firing pin/hammer is either broken off or bent. From what I can tell it doesn't come out far enough to strike the round.
Here are some pics-
Does anyone know if I can still get a new hammer for this?
The only other problem it has is that is it very hard to pull the hammer back or the trigger double action. This isn't the case when it broken open, so the problem seems to be cylinder being stiff. That should be taken care of with a good cleaning which it'll get tomorrow. I'm sure being in an attic for the past 20+ years didn't help it.
Any other info about it is appreciated. Age, value, etc.
