Hello all,

I work for a CRM firm and yesterday one of our crews uncovered a heavily
corroded but seemingly intact revolver from beneath some architectural
debris. I believe it's late 19th/early 20th-century in date.

Does anyone have any ideas on how best to preserve this artifact? Could any
potentially unfired bullets in the cylinder present a safety hazard? We are
not quite sure how to proceed so any input is appreciated.

Best,
Nadia Kline
