 What is wrong with it?   Unless the Barrel is dented in I bet it could be made good.

With some Home Loads you could have a Formidable hand cannon.   LOL

It seems to be Rust pitted bad on the outside.  Notice the Locks on the Breach are free from same.  The Dent in the Mussel end is a easy fix.  Just tap a Pointed object slow down it.  Plumb Bob"  Springs on the trigger, and Ejector seem to be brass coated in the ones I seen.  If Not they can be Be Replaced.  Grips, you can do your self with time and good wood like Walnut or Oak. 

Hell, yEA!  I would make it go bang yet again.   


Yeah and you would be Hi-lighting the Border and giving them guards all that extra paper work coz they would see em coming over the fence,lol

You are A Bad influence on this young Man, Go and stand by the Naughty Wall

  No I'm a Good Influence!  When I was in the UK you had to belong to a Club in order to have a Gun.  You had to have a lock Box bolted to two walls and the Floor. You could only have 5o rounds of Ammo for any said Gun you had. Registered with the local Constable  who gave you Permission if he liked you. If you got caught any place other then between the lines of the Gun Club and your home with your goodies you was Screwed.  Now in the UK Hand guns, anything other then a .22 for Farmers or a Shot gun is a NO NO.you need a Ticket to own an Any thing even a Air Rifle.  No Sir, here  in America we don't play that game.    Here the federal Government says bad guys can't have guns but they do.  As long as they and the Government has them I will too.

  Even if I have to MAKE my own.

  The sad mater of fact is America is about to take a Chit.

We have what people call the President that Can't prove he is even a American.  No Birth Certificate.   Issues Exectutive orders contrary to Law and the Congress, ( You would call the Parliament)  Just turns a blind eye.   The Government is suppose to be backing up We The People and have seemed to have forgot Who Works for Who.


I would Make that Flare Gun Work.  I could make Cartridges from other rounds If needed.  Hell I would convert it to BP for a One Shot if Needed.

hahaa, oh boy would I love to se that gun roar... I have a funny feeling the owner would rather leave it in its current condition... it dose have some BAD pitting and like you said the dent at the end... wooden grips have seen better days, the screws look like they have formed as one with the rest of the gun. Also the gun will not lock straight in place, so it always looks like your reloading Cheesy thats probably another semi-easy fix but thats only if the screws came out, anyways thanks very much guys for helping me figure this one out, my dads friend was very happy to know the background of this gun. he paid $40 for the gun, does that sound like a fair price for the gun as it sits? The gun is MASSIVE so even if it never fires again, it sure is a nice wall hanger and interesting conversation piece!
thanks,
Beau

I think I would clean it and leave it as it is, That's a nice piece of history right there, So I would look into the companies History and find out where it first came from. and about the powder and loads etc,
