So I was cleaning up and sorting through stuff and found a single shot caplock that I must have bought further back than I can remember. I do recall the fellow telling me it was a 45 but when I tried a 440 ball it was too big. Must have set it aside and then forgot I had it..
Anyway, I "miked" the bore and it seems to be a nominal 40 caliber. It has a walnut stock,it's a sidelock and and has these markings on the barrel.
PNXXVI on one flat. B inside a faintly struck box and ITALY FIE on another flat.
So, what the heck is it?
(Note, can't post pictures as tech and photo support had to go to town...)
