Hello /k/,

So I found this in a basement today. I don't even know if it's an actual black powder firearm, but assuming it is would it still work?

Gonna upload more photos throughout.

>Does it work

Put the muzzle under your chin and pull the trigger to find out.

How do you think that wound up in your basement? What did your ancestors do?
>>
>>34221534
Could be reproduction, but definitely a black powder pistol. Nipple and cap, not flintlock.

Clean it up and you have a table piece.

looks like the kind of hand a fish would have, if fish had hands

Submerge it in salty water for an hour so it etches away the rust and we can see barrel markings

Can't exactly do it rn but I will at the next opportunity, stay tuned.
>>
>>34221582
Try putting it on something like a table with a solid color background and a decent light source instead of taking pictures in the dwarven mine you found it in you fucking retard
>>
Looks like it might be an Ottoman or Balkan cap and ball gun, or a repro thereof. Any maker's marks on it anywhere?
>>
>>34221580
DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS
