I can’t find any legible markings on this Remington Rolling Block that I inherited from my father-in-law.  Should I give a scrub with a nylon brush and CLP?

The firing pin and parts of the rear sight are missing.

I'd leave it as is as a wallhanger. Likely an oddball caliber- try a chamber cast to see.

So many of those I have encountered were in .43 Spanish.  

That said the Rolling Block and the Highwall have been chambered in just about every caliber invented in that time.
The only hyphenated names I like are cartridge names......30-06, 30-40, 38-55 etc.

Put it above the fireplace & wonder where it has been & done in it's time here on Earth.
