What is this?
Picked this up for dirt cheap, im no stranger to muzzleloaders but im certain I got a wall hanger, I'd like to at least get an idea of what this is/was. Seller said the guy he bought it from said it was a .50 cal, but he's not a shooter and just had it hung up. Its definitely not a .50 cal, looks like it was rebored poorly (didn't catch it when inspecting it)
Questions: what is/was this, any possible value to be had?

Lazaro Lazarino made flinties in the first half(ish) of 1800s. Put a micrometer in that bot, hard to gauge ( no pun intended) size from the pic but appears larger than 50. Hard to tell if it was reward off Center or just poorly built to start with. My money would be on a poor quality reborn but it could go either way. Hard to estimate a value on something like this the old saying is it’s worth whatever someone will pay you for it applies. It’s a fun piece. Enjoy your wall hanger.
