Odd little barrel

Bought this some time ago. I think I got it ad thought "repro" and put it away. Now I wonder.

Length is 9" (not including the mounting protrusion) Bore is ~.75".
Note the irregularity of the bore at the muzzle.

I recall having a conversation with a fairly well known curatorial person who shall remain nameless who thought that it was "good" but "good" in what respect? Maybe as part of an old model? That would make some sense I suppose.

Material is brass.

Thoughts?
