On auction at a local site.

Claimed to be a .60 cal, made of "steel". No other info

Any idea what this might be?

That’s gotta be a modern home brew, right? I think it looks pretty neat, but I can’t figure out those triggers.
 
From South America? The number stamped on it would be unusual for a home made muzzleloader, unless it was from somewhere you needed to register it.

Looks better than the ones I have. They came from Thailand. Person I got them from said they were curios for the wall.
After taking them apart and thoroughly inspected. And literally tried to blow them up. They are fully functional.

This is another "wall hanger" I did the same with it. Took apart and tried to blow it up. Don't know where it came from but it didn't have a breech plug or flash hole. The lock has Spain stamped on the inside. Sparks real good.
