Model or not...I would load and fire it. Looks like it can take a punch.

By calling it a model, does that mean it is as a reproduction ? Not original ? Any I.D. on the proof marks ?

There is no real way that I am aware of that will determine when it was made, it could be 50 years old or 150. Those are not proof marks, merely decoration stamped by its maker.

Judging by the patina in the bore and near the touch hole, I'd say its been fired in recent years.
