Agree with Corrado. It's one of the better made tourist items from the 1960's or earlier,which sometimes used a combination of original surplus and new parts. The lock is an original snaphaunce from a Moroccan musket. The barrel could be an original, shortened or just a piece of formed pipe. The length being shorter than normal to make it easier for the tourist to transport back home - during that time before all the anti-gun regulations started. Looks like there was quite a bit of work in it.
