Another thing ..

Look at the rear of the barrel behind the reinforce. About 1/3 if the diameter is unfinished. In other words, not to be seen. Suggests some sort of fitted mounting.

I think that this is what led me to think "pistol".

Could it be an old signal cannon?

Replica "Handgonne" of the medieval period? Mounted on a tiller style stock and held with one or more bands.

The profile (with the reinforce and muzzle flair) say "18th century" I think
