Any idea what this is?

This one puzzles me... I am not sure what this is... No markings except 5. at the end of the muzzle.... very tiny hole, smaller that a 22 or bb.


Just picked up some guns from my moms.... I held off on these till my kids got older....


Here is a link to all of them and more of the unknown.....

Winchester 1897 12 gauge made in 1913 per ser# Full choke 30 inch barrel, Winchester 67a 22, Ranger R-M34 and a Sentinel R-106.... Thinking of unloading these to finance new ones....I used them all about 18yrs ago and the 12g is to heavy to keep for trap.

Got any other pics of the first gun... It reminds me of an old Sharps buffalo rifle... if the barrel is as small as you say it, could be a replica. There is a spot for the hammer so it has to be a black powder rifle...

Wow. That is one odd duck you have there. Almost looks like the barrel was plugged (notice the outer ring that could have been the original bore). Very strange mechanism attached tongue hammer as well. Let us know if you figure out what it is.

Probably a 5mm Flobert parlor gun. I think they came as small as 2mm. Most used a round ball in a brass case, and I think no powder charge, just primer propelled. Not too familiar, but that will probably be a good place to start researching. Cool gun.
