I think its best to show it to a gunsmith, especially if you have given any thought to firing it. Parts will be very hard to find. I have restored some old handguns and often have had to make up parts from scratch.

By the way, 'British Bull dog' was a popular game a school when I was a kid. Though it could get quite violent! One kid on in the middle of the ground, with anything from 20 to 250 plus on the other. The large group charge across, the one has to catch someone, who then joins them as catchers. The big group then charges back, loosing more kids to the catchers until there are only a few runners. Good game, but as I said, it could get a bit dangerous.
