This was purchased by me in another box of firearm "stuff" at an auction. I am almost sure there is a Civil War era m1851 belt in the group and a couple of other what I guess you could call "barreled actions"? I'll post pics of the rest of the stuff tomorrow after work, but this one has me stumped.
The barred action is a muzzle type loader, barrel is 12 inches long, and has a heavy removable brass "plunger" on the end that looks to be some sort of bullet starter on an older percussion rifle. The only marking I see is on the underneath of the barrel and I see a "22" marked in a font reminiscent of 1910 S&W serial numbers..
With this group, there was also a couple more of these barrel/tangs that I'll post tomorrow.
Because of the items I got with this, I believe it all to be Civil War era stuff, I just can't exactly identify it.
Any definitive YES's and Civil War buffs here?
