As mom told me, "There`s nothing new under the sun". This is a double barrel .50 "something" teat fire about 180 years old. I was told by my mentor old gun collector who gave it to me, he thought it was a pirates "boarding pistol" as it has screw holes drilled in the side for a metal clip to wear in a belt or sash. I did see one similar years ago.
I often wonder about the history of those guns and who carried them. The S&W sawed off american was found in the wall of a barn being tore down in Montana that once was a stage coach stop. The 1858 Remington was reblued many years ago, the hog wallow rear sight squared up and the King front sight with a red insert added.
