This was on Ebay and I thought it was worth posting.

It looks as if it has a firing pin.  It could be a 10 or 12 GA salute cannon.

That's what I thought, Dominick. A fellow here in town built one very similar, 12 gauge, but with a break apart breech, rather than a screw in. Very Loud!

It took a while to find the listing.  The seller "measured" the barrel at 7/8"  My guess would be some sort of 8 guage blank.  Don't know if that is bore or chamber.  Definately a cartridge gun.
