It`s probably a 10 gauge, the barrell on a 12 gauge is closer to 3/4 inch.

I would take it to a gunsmith (look in the yellow pages) and have them check it out. Most places will do this for free. This way not only can they tell you if it's safe to fire but they can also tell you the gauge.
Also, most guns have what they are stamped on the side of the barrel.

Most likely a 10 or 12 gauge, but you ought to take it to a gunsmith to check it out.
Is it a muzzle-loader or breech-loading shotgun? If it is a muzzle-loader, it could be any number or gauges.
