An 1835 Belgian musket (smoothbore, cap lock muzzle-loader).
My apartment was burgled in the mid-1970s. The burglar wandered down Amsterdam Avenue in New York City with the (NOT small) gun, trying to sell it...
Those were the Wild West days in NYC (by West, I refer of course to the Upper West Side of Manhattan).
