I must be missing something. I see nothing that indicates an unfinished barrel? The breach is plugged, and the tang shows signs of heavy use, even damage. The area around the nipple shows deep pitting, which is an indication of repeated firing, over a long period of time. And then, there is the matter of what looks like battle damage, near the muzzle. I agree, that it is a recycled barrel of some sort. Looks Indian to me. Please, tell me what is unfinished.
