It is interesting that it appears to have a genuine artillery rear sight and rear sight base anchor (the 'band' around the barrel that the sight base is dovetailed into) and no toggle rear sight...

(I had to lighten it quite a bit to even see the barrel)

The length and taper of the barrel is impressive...I wonder who made it?
