Hi everyone. I was recently given this old .58 smoothbore. Assume it is a poor reproduction but not sure. No markings at all but a bit of engraving on the lock. Any ideas what this is?
The lock is toast and the triggers and guard are poor but the barrel actually looks pretty good, minor pitting but thick walled. Was thinking about using the barrel as the basis for a neat little smooth rifle converted to flintlock. I love flintlock smoothbores!! What would you do with it?
