Unfortunately the pistol ended up being a Derringer of some sort. I'll have to snap pics later if anyone really wants to see it, but it's a POS. I took the ammo out, locked the barrels, put it on safety, cocked the hammer, and was still able to pull the trigger. 
I tried multiple variations of this scenario, all ending in the trigger working just fine.
I was considering keeping it for fun, but it's obviously unsafe as is. If I kept it for nostalgic reasons or wanted to sell it, how would I go about registering it in the first place? My uncle purchased it about 10 years ago, paid cash, no bill of sale. He gave it to my grandfather soon after, again, no BOS. My grandfather died recently and now it's mine. I can get him to fill out a basic BOS for it, but he never "owned" it in the first place. WTF am I supposed to do with it? Melt it down?
