Long Pistol Barrel in .60 caliber smoothbore

This barrel was made in India but looks well made. It was over polished as they do in India so the corners are slightly rounded over. Could be draw filed to remedy or leave as is. It has a fitted breech plug and tennons installed. No touch hole has been drilled. Measures 14" long and 1" at the breech.
