This gun barrel is about 6"inches . I think it is a boot pistol with a percussion cap detonator. It was in the ground for a while. Also does and body know how old. Thinks

Wow, it could be from so many different manufacturers you may never know which one for sure. Percussion Boot pistol sounds right. Probably produced in the 1840's-1860's.

Very cool find. :thumbsup:
