Hello,

I am trying to figure out any information about the type of gun pictured in this engraving (c.1831). The object is partially obscured but I'm hoping enough clues are still visible that you experts might be able to hazard a guess! If it helps, the engraving accompanied reports of 1831 slave rebellion in Southampton, Virginia.

Any light you might be able to shed would be greatly appreciated!
