what is this gun

[Bigmatt91783]

I have customer wanting to know what kind of gun this is and what brand. i could not find any markings. it looks like a allin conversion but the gate don't look right

Pics work for me. Looks like a French Tabatiere "Zulu shotgun", used to be a French musket, then converted to breechloader like a Snyder, then obsoleted into cheap hardware store trade guns in the early 1900s.

I agree with Vaarok. It looks like a Snyder but I know it isn't. I sure as heck know it is not a bb gun...

That is a M1853/67 French "Tabatiere" Dragoon Rifle, Caliber is 17.8mm. Looks like it needs a little work, but cool none the less.................

Caliber is 17.8mm
