Pre-1850 inline breechloader

Gun Jesus Ian McCollum examines an inline, rotating breech single shot gun. The cylindrical nature of the breach makes it appear to look like a turret gun and is rather clever. Undated and its maker is unknown, had it been around it would have made a nice infantry carbine for the 1840s.
