If you look at the 2nd page graybeardtmm3's post, Tom absolutely nailed it without lifting a finger. There are some real authorities on this board. Hopefully we've added some academic footnotes reinforcing his conclusions.
Hello Argo44,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, graybeardtmm3's post DID nail it. He was SPOT-ON. It was his assement that led me to do the cast of the rifling - a picture of which is in my post that followed his.
For my part - I will continue to refer to this interesting Combination Gun, .... as a
CAPE GUN.
Although "some" think there is not much interest in Cape Guns, I'll post details about the other four in my collection for those that do have interest.
My first Cape Gun.
