Congrats on a fine firearm with the family history to go with it. If you decide to shoot it regularly and have not yet done so, get one of the loading/unloading tools made for the .45 ACP wheelguns. It makes a difficult, finger chewing chore a breeze.

I have to ask, was there a holster that came with it? An original military holster can be worth as much or more than the revolver.

No, doggone it. But you're right about the pain it is to clip the cartridges together. I only use the half-moons and very, very seldom fire the piece anymore.
