Jon,
I think Vern has already done quite a good job with his post, in fact You've got a Portuguese "Manuel Secundo" that for some obsure reason was converted into a target shooter with deep alterations (adjustable rear sight!).
I don' t think it has any collectible value, but if you must have it properly checked by a good armourer before you use it at the range.
Remember:
1) proper check by a competent armourer
2) Never shoot modern high power cartridges with it.
3) Shoot safe.
Sergio
