i found the age out myself , it was built in 1894, first year COOL! but I'm still not sure on the ammo.
No. The only lower power ammunition for a .44 special is the .44 Russian and .44 American, both of which are over 100 years old and were black powder cartidges. There are a few different factory loads for .44 special and the cartridge is fairly easy to reload giving you many more options. You must never try to fire .44 magnum through your .44 special because if you do succeed, you will likely damage the gun and possibly injure yourself.

Muskets were slow to reload and had limited accuracy and range compared to more modern firearms. They were also prone to misfires and malfunctions, making them unreliable in combat situations. Additionally, muskets required large amounts of black powder and lead bullets, which were cumbersome to carry and transport.
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) is a black powder.
Black powder absorbs moisture from the atmosphere
You will have to be the judge on safe condition to fire, but I have been shooting a Belmont Damascus barred gun for years with black powder loads and also with the substitutes. I have not loaded more than 60 grains and use it for skeet and target plinking. So long as the barrels and lock are in good shape it should be fine.

quit lauhing and reload
Black powder and smokeless powder differ significantly in power. Smokeless powder is more powerful, providing higher velocities and energy compared to black powder. Smokeless powder's cleaner burn and increased efficiency make it the standard propellant for modern firearms, offering better performance and reduced fouling.
does not matter once the Powder has starch it turns black and the powder can be any color
Black powder, or a black powder substitute such as Pyrodex. Smokeless powder (modern gun powder) should not be used in a traditional muzzle loading firearm.
