Indeed!  Notice the bayonette lug at the muzzle?

It looks to be too far back (towards the breech) to be a bayonet lug although the angle of the posted photo could be deceptive in that respect.

I would think they left  the lug intact because the piece still has the original bayonet in the butt. It would be nice to see a picture of the bayonet tucked in the trap of the butt.  I was told by Cliff Noal how he had built a fowler with the bayonet and the butt trap and while out in the woods managed to loose the bayonet. :-\

COOL! I might be a millionaire If I decide to sell off all my old relics. ;)
 IMO, that's a lot of money for that particular gun.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
