Because the gun is a blackpowder gun, it is not safe to fire modern ammunition, even if you can find ammunition that will fit the chamber.
Your gun is a 5 shot, but to provide more information about when it was made, it will be necessary to have the full serial number that is under the grip. The screw holding the grip on will have to be removed so the grip can be removed to read the serial number, including the letter prefix that isn't stamped on the barrel.
