Reeder Custom Guns - Has anyone seen a gun like this?

I was at the Gunshow and bought this handgun.
It’s clearly a percussion black powder pistol. I’ve never seen this kind of frame on a BP pistol before. No markings or serial numbers. Some stamped engravings on the frame of a gentleman in a suit and hat in a dueling stance. The barrel appears to be 45 caliber and a take off from a rifle because it still has a raised rear sight with notches to 1000 yards. The seller knew nothing to add. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Bob Tingle, CVA, Armi San Marco made some pistols like that. The only ones I can find with a brass frame were actual Bob Tingle, who came out with it back in the 50's. Competition muzzleloading inline pistol design. Any other markings on it?

The barrel system is so any length could be adapted, short or long. It would be easy to turn one to fit with your lathe! Work out a breach plug. Shotgun! Or I have a .58 cal. Piece or two…

Looks like you got a Tingle.

It does have a 50’s look to it.

Exactly. People could put just about any barrel on there.

Most were in .44 cal, and there is usually a forend of some

Thanks guys, I think I will start by pulling the barrel
