Hello,
I am collecting Funk guns. Does this piece have a serial number? |

peter: the serial number 14452 is stamped on the butt plate and the under side of the barrels. what year to do suppose this gun was made? from its style, i would guess 1860, more or less?

Around 1860-65 - but unfortunately it is only a guess. I have no guns with serial numbers and an exact year of manufacturing from around this period, sorry
