M1 perhaps?
Looks like a single shot breech loader carbine. Cheap, crude but it gets the job done. The job of killing farm animals, that is.
Put it on eBay under
'RARE: Gun that shot J.F.K! NR"
And watch the money roll in....

I'd keep it and maybe even try firing it
That's a nice find, Pink.
Sound advice... the most you can gain from keeping a loaded and aging gun in your possession is an interesting adornment for your mantlepiece - but the alternative possibilities don't bear thinking about. You may not end up injuring yourself or someone else, but the best bet is to make it safe as soon as possible (even if that means calling in the experts i.e. the police or similarly trained people) to eliminate the possibility that someone is hurt or even killed by accident.Whatever you do, don't go firing it. If the barrel's rusted out, it could frag out the side or something.
I once cooperate with DICA Reklame in Norway, you know it?
...a loaded gun that old could be pretty dangerous. (Although the powder/primer in the cartridge is probably pretty degraded, it probably wouldnt fire even if you wanted it to.
