Need recommendations on Gunsmith for old Colt revolver.

[steelhorse]

I recently traded into an old Colt revolver, mid 1950’s and need OTD’s help in finding a gunsmith to take it to. Just out of curiosity, I was running a bore scope down the barrel and noticed what appeared to be a crack on the inside of the barrel. The area in question, somewhere close to where the barrel meets the forcing cone. Just want to make sure that this revolver is still safe to shoot and not just a wall hanger. Thanks in advance guys,.

Is it a double action or single action?!

Double action, it was the first .357 Colt built, the I frame , predecessor to the Colt Python. Don’t have pics of the inside of barrel, was at my brothers house using his bore scope that hooked into his smart phone. Forgot to screenshot it. I have pics of the revolver though, looks just like a Colt Python, minus the full lug barrel.
