I just purchased a U. S. Revolver Co. pistol at an auction. It holds five (5) rounds, has a hammer, a short barrel and matching serial numbers on the trigger guard and the butt (under the grips). The serial number is 17786. Perhaps someone can answer a few questions. 1.) The pistol does not have grips. Where could I purchase grips? 2.) The caliber is not identified but the barrel diameter appears to be .32. Other than inserting various caliber casings, is there any way to determine the caliber? 3.) Any idea as to the approximate value of the pistol? Finally, 4.) Is it safe to use modern ammunition? Thank you for your assistance.
