I don't think theres any paperwork, you might want to see if it shows up on the stolen gun list the state has on a web site, maybe someone can post a link to that site.
Did your dad buy that pistol in Fl?

Well, if you say it's not yours,  then I guess the answer would be no, you should try to give it back to your dad.
Nothing is worth breking the law over. I never break the law.

If your Dad leaves and doesn't come back, then everything he owns belongs to your mother. If she says it's yours now, then it's yours. End of discussion!

Your dad should have left you a dictionary.

And it's "MINE" not "MINES".  What are you, five ?!

Never thought I'd see the day a West Virginian corrects another persons grammar!  

I'm allowed to say that because I'm from WV .

This is almost correct. The ownership is not dependent upon his leaving. In the State of Florida, married couples have equal ownership of everything either one of them owns/has owned since their wedding day.

Open the cylinder and look on the frame where the "hinge" is and you should see the model number.

$475 if 100% unfired condition (which includes the box, manuals, etc.. everything)
$350 for 98% condition
$300 for 95% condition
$275 for 90% condition
$195 for 60% condition

I don't think it affects the revolvers at all.
