I’m new here, know very little about guns. I’m an antique dealer and acquired this at auction. I think it’s a repo but I wanted to check with some experts, to see if I could get an approx age or any info on it. Thx

It’s a wall hanger souvenir gun, not meant to be fired. Maybe from the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, probably not very old. Pipe barrel, non functioning flintlock.

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina.

Looks like tourist trade ‘decorative’ item. In my opinion neither an antique or reproduction. Research Khyber Pass guns.

Just due to the extremely roughly constructed lock and the pipe for a barrel that's a non firing "prop" piece, maybe 1960s, 1970s vintage that looks as if someone left it out in a leaky shed for a couple of decades to age it. Hope you didn't pay much for it.

Find some pirate re-enactors, they love that kind of gun to wear with the costume!
