Best Answer

Your shotgun was manufactured between 1905 and 1922. Concerning shooting it: You can't know how that gun has been used for the last 85 to 100 years. Imagine placing your face next to 100 year old steel and setting off an explosion on the other side, counting on the steel to hold. If that doesn't frighten you, take the gun to a reputable gunsmith and have him check it out for you. Personally, I would find a pretty wall and use the gun for decoration.
