I could read the serial number which was 131407...so it

was made in 1863-64

Neat find! If it were mine, would be tempted to carve the missing parts from wood, put the two pieces together and display it. I did that with a cap gun once, but it was much smaller and simpler (an automatic with slab side handles).
