I got this at a gun show in Columbia, SC over the weekend. My guess is Chinese. An Oriental man at the show offered the translation " TURTLE ISLAND CURRENT " for the bigger writing, and " 1363 " and a makers name for the smaller writing. I do not think it is a swivel gun, but not sure. Opinions ??

Here are pictures & details.

OAL 28 3/8 "
Tapers from 2 1/4 to 1 3/4 ( over flats ) then back to 2 1/4 " at front sight
.80 bore
