I have no idea who made this or when. Bare steel finish, I'm thinking of painting it as it is
having slight rust issues. Overall 39 1/2" long, barrel including breech 19". Verticle sliding breech, recoil length just
over 2", firing lock withdraws as breech opens. Smooth bore, no extracter or sighting elements. I will put it
on blocks as tires are a bit soft and may flatten over time (more than they may have already.)
Images taken outside which caused some green reflection so I've tried to remove that if the colouration looks a bit odd.
Calibre just under .5 " =12mm.
