Evening y'all.
Got this in some stuff when my Grandpa passed in 97. I know it's a wall hanger and have no plans to do anything else with it but I'd sure like to know what it's origins are and how old it may be.

Thanks for the investigative work.

Decorative only. Never a working gun. $100 wall hanger from N. Africa.

Optimisticaly called a "Turkoman snaphaunce" by some sellers but that is not an actual gun in my opinion.
Thank you. Every once in a while I'd try and find something on Google. My best guess was an Inuit hunting rifle that just had a rough time in the elements.
 
What you have are 2 things that will never fire.... The rifle and the bike.....:boink:

ba dum tss!

I'll bookmark this post and come back to prove you wrong on at least one of those statements.

Here's the last bike I put together before we moved out here to Georgia.
