Hello everyone, I'm new here and thanks for the add! I'm not sure what I have here. I'd like some friendly advice to know what I bought at a sale. They are rough. I'm hoping I have this in the right spot.

The M-1855 lock was filled with lead when it was in civilian hands, most likely to just make it look better. The entire arm has been turned into a post-war era farm use shotgun. The pistol, however, is much more interesting because it is a US Model 1805 Harper's Ferry pistol and quite rare in any condition. It should have a serial number on the left side of the barrel, and they were issued in matching numbered pairs. You have a decent parts value in the M-1855 Maynard Tape, but the real gem is the 1807 dated pistol!
