Default Winchester 1897 safe to fire?

I recently just won an auction for this little beauty and although I don't plan to take it through the mud I would like to at least fire it once or twice on special occasions.

The problem, though, is that not only am I rather new to this community but I don't know too much about gunsmithing or how to check if it's in shooting condition. If it IS safe to shoot, what type of ammo should I use? The previous owner only said that it had "been a few years since [he] fired it".

Any advice is welcomed, and I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives.
