Thanks for your observations Ibrahiim. The barrel looks to be made the length it is, not cut back. The muzzle is "swamped", and the decorations terminate there. I don't really think it's a recent copy. It exhibits signs of long use, and carry, with multiple replacements, and repairs. The lock could be a replacement, as it is a typical mispelled copy. The trigger guard is a replacement, as it doesn't quite fit the mortise.
