Looks like it might have been made for the Bi-Centenial, probably in Japan by Miroku. They were not high quality. Probably 65-70 cal!
 
Looks like the one my Brother had, .69 caliber Japanese made. It shot every time we pulled the trigger.
 
There might be some identifying marks on the hidden/underside of the barrel...….

I had one of these replicas in the early 1960's...good pics! It's a modern generic copy. Fun to have! Don't know how well it will spark, never tried mine, was just a dumb kid at the time.
