Monkey gun? .390 fullstock made in Brazil

[Garbear34]

I've wanted one for awhile

During that time, some came with hideous carved buttstocks. Some years back, we saw one on a gunshow table & listened to the seller spin a yarn about the rarity and significance of the gun. Carving looked like it'd been done with a hatchet. Most every one I saw of that type had a face/animal head - some with tacks for eyes, etc. There were flintlocks with two-piece locks, the back portion a back-action and front half the frizzen. Still, it was a fun time.

the barrel is straight, it is the wood making a bit of an illusion

I caught that too Miss Cindy. Looks like the inletting veered off the the left a bit? Optical illusion, should shoot Okay with shot or a .375 and THICK patch?
