Pawnshop mystery

The hammer/nipple geometry couldn't be more wrong. The hammer face looks ground back a ways.

She kinda looks cobbled together.

The side of the stock comes up way too far. Completely covering the barrel flat. Looks like the stock was cut down so it lined up with the lock plate.

Price?

Cleaned everything up and even snapped a couple caps. I see no reason it won't be a decent shooter . Got to find some 395 round balls and try her out . FBC

The barrel and hot air balloon patch box are worth what you paid.

Yank that hammer and look for a replacement. Or regrind the angle if there's material there to do it.

If the lock is in decent shape, I'd say that's a great buy at 125.

@Ferryboatcaptain you did good for the money. Play with it, tinker with it and enjoy.

Well worth what you paid. Interesting shape of the wrist and stock. Hope you find out the history .

the buttstock shape , beavertail ?

Not really sure what you call it . The brass end does not fit my shoulder very well.

That style buttplate doesn't go on your shoulder. It goes at the end of your bicep muscle.
