Those are the only pics I have of it. He said it was a "farbed dixie smoothbore 24 gauge. He wants $150 for it. Is that a good buy? What is the value of this gun?

Should be a good grab for only $150.00.
A very good price, probably worth twice that.
What you have there is an "India" pattern 1858 smooth-bore carbine, caliber .656.
It was manufactured either in London, or Birmingham by the Trade
This, and other patterns were served out to the Indian army after the 1857 mutiny.
By the photos, I would jump on it, and if you aren't interested, well I would be :thumbsup:

Knew navy Arms imported them, so assume Dixie did as well. That is the very type carbine old shooting pal had and one day while we are out shooting with friends I got distracted while pouring powder and Lord alone knows how much I actually loaded. KABOOM!! And I literally took a step back...witnesses said I may have poured an Old Fashion size glass of powder in that little carbine! Where ever Navy got them, they built them well. I've never done it since...even idiots learn from their mistakes!
Hi,
You have a very nice find!
You can shoot pumkins out of it now and have fun, OR you can have it rifled to .69 cal. and then have an awesome hunting rifle.
If you don't keep it keep me in mind.

Thanks everyone for your Help!! I ended up passing on it. I did so because I have a friend who is very knowledgable about blackpowder and he said make sure it is not a india import as he heard that they have problems blowing up. Not sure if that's because of user error or poor quality of parts. He said to him it looked like a 1872 enfield carbine but its hard to tell without better pics. I also ended up passing on it because I think im going to tackle my first kit build or might get a BP revolver
