It's a civilian piece originally rather than military, a shotgun rather than a carbine. One with a long and eventful life I would say.

Approximately 12 bore, but hard to tell with an old barrel. According to my gunsmith it had proof marks and etc, but now worn away to illegibility.

As a newbie to this site, and a lover of all things "black powder" I think this old girl is a thing of beauty!
