Chinese Firearm

Hello,

i bought this a few years ago, knowing it is not old, but in thougt of some medieval reenactment.

In the auction house it was described at asian, probably chinese.
For me, ok so far. I think of an fantasy part too. And the quality is poor as you can see.

Some years later a second item was in a small auction, which described it as a medieval weapon. I should cost 5000,- €
No one buied it. (wonder why ;-)

But then the named auction house Herman historica offered two parts of the simmilar shape as chinese firearms from around 1900 at the end of last year.

So I became wondering if it is fantasy, or fake, or a real weapon used by the chinese maybe in the boxer war ?

Do anyone know ?

best regards from
Dirk
