Whomever took those photos typed out .45 Colt and 20ga. So the real owner.... er.. the person in possession of the pistol, knows nothing.

Scammer who know just enough, but not quite? (reply)

look up LeMat revolver.... It's a cap-n-ball invented by LeMat of New Orleans... they were used by the Confederacy in the Civil War ... originally in .36 or .42 cal with a 20 ga center smooth bore barrel in the center (used as the center pin for the cylinder) ... final version were pin-fire cartridge versions..

He's pulling your leg... it's a Le Matt black powder cap-n-ball revolver with a shotgun chamber and barrel as the center cylinder "pin"... not a cartridge gun... in the ad, it is mislabeled as 45Colt... look at the pictures... it tells everything.

How would this even work?

Pictures don't appear to show a cartridge cylinder...how would you load a 20 gauge shell?
