Homemade 45 cal ?

Got this pistol from my buddies dad a long time ago.I know he didn't build it. Don't know the story behind it. Looks to be homemade. Pretty bulky and chunky. I think it is a 45 cal, a .454 sits on the muzzle kinda like my 1860 44. I'm wildly guessing about this. The lock has no half ****, full **** only. I'm 99.99999 percent sure those are real rubies too. Lol. Any way here are some pics.

No half **** is a feature you will find on some target guns.

I forgot to take a pic of the sights.

Also forgot no markings on the barrel that I can see.

To my eyes it looks like whoever built it used a toy cap gun as inspiration. That’s what the shape reminds me of. Not denigrating it, just an observation.

It might be clunky but I kind of like it. I bet it's a good shooter. Have you checked to be sure it isn't loaded?

Yeah it's not loaded. I want to shoot it and see how it does.
