Title: Is it real?

I hope they quit making bullets for your gun! I'm no gun expert but I would like to get in on the quessing game.It looks like an old sawed off rifle/shotgun. I think it looks like the ones in old westerns or gangsters flicks.I don't know that much about guns except I hate them but..... I did get straight A's in English and I make typo errors all the time.I stutter on the keyboard alot.I have to tell you that there is no such word as tooken. . You TOOK pictures of your gun.No en at the end. Just teasing you. Don't come looking for me with your gangster gun!!! Enjoy it, just don't buy any bullets.Lindalee

Glad you used the old rule of buy it if you like it, not for investment.  Not a gun expert, but the piece looks 'wrong'. The grip is not correct for a gun that would have functioned and the screw head is another red flag.  You could always send your shots to a real collector, for verification, however my gut feeling is you have an interesting decorative item.
