Just picked this monster up and posted here for comment.
The overall length is 71" (1.8m) long with a 55" (1.4m) barrel. Overall decorated with brass studs and red beads? coral?. The barrel, apart from a short section at the muzzle and breech end, is overwrapped with decorated brass and copper. There is no rammer and it was made without one. There is no tube or method of attaching a rammer to the gun, so I assume it must have been carried separately. The smoothbore is approx. 15mm.
Very nice Snaphaunce lock in good working order, with a small silver inlet plate below the cock.
Plenty of pics.....Enjoy
