 is an 1871 army issue 50 caliber rolling block pistol, custom polished by hand and the wood parts have been sanded and re-glazed.looks like it just came out of the factory with  a mirror finish on all the parts. The usual markings in that process of being polished away.

The  bore is shiny bright with strong rifling, except the last 3 cm has some wear.50/70 brass cut down to size fits perfectly with 50 caliber lead and some   black powder and you have yourself a 50 caliber cannon. Mechanics are good except the trigger return spring is a little bit weak, and I always help it forward after shooting so that the  half cock safety engages properly and the trigger resets.
