Anyone one who knows ANYTHING about handguns.

We have this really old safe in my basement. Which is full of family "artifacts". It has coins from the 1800's and bill money from 1800's and a bunch of other old stuff. But it also has this old handgun. I got to shoot the last bullet for it. My dad said we can never shoot it again because they don't make bullets for it anymore. I just thought I would post some pictures and see if anyone knew anything about this gun. Because I am very very curious about it.

Here are some pictures. From my shitty flip cell phone, so sorry for the quality.

On the sides of the gun it says "Soc. lt (don't know if its a lowercase L or a upper case I) F.lli Galesi-Bresica-Cal.6.35 (or maybe .635)

I'm pretty certain that these bullets would fit. Winchester USA Centerfire Pistol Ammunition Q4203, 25 ACP, Full Metal Jacket, 50 GR, 760 fps, 50 Rd/

Additionally, you can give Winchester or any ammunition company a call, and they should be able to find something that fits. There will be certainly something that does. There are plenty of firearms that come in the 6.35 caliber.


The full metal jackets are good rounds too if you are interested in just plunking at targets.
