I have no opinion what this gun might have really been made for. Perhaps there is anybody who has an idea or knows what it is. The butt and the lock are from an early Brown Bess ca. 1720, the lock is marked 1741, but what is the barrel made for? Perhaps a gun to shoot the rope of a boarding hook to an other ship?
