Here is my old howda .50 caliber pistol given to me by Ura "Duke" Duvall a old time collector that got me started collecting. It was a teat or pin fire, I estimate built back around 1840s.
Duke thought it probley was a "boarding" pistol probley used by a pirate. It has no stamped info. There are 2 threaded holes on the side that duke thought was for a clip so gun could be carried in a waste slash.
