    Neat. Wonder where the vent is located.

    Neat, reminds me of a Chinese musket I saw once that had a dragon's head with open mouth for the muzzle. Animal motifs in firearms/artillery are always interesting.

    Reading the description, it hadn't been drilled, so they're assuming the piece is unfinished.

    Probably it’s butt is where the vent hole was supposed to go.
