my name is Remigio, or Remy for friends. I went on this great forum to search informations and so, here I am!

I recently found an old piece of rusted metal and need help identifying it. Which section of the forum will be the best?
I don't wanna add another "please help identify this" topic in the forum if this can be annoying; to my eyes it seem a 1910 single shot 12" rifle. Literally a ball of rust, no wood on it, just the metal part. Serial number is 8085. I'm cleaning it using electrolysis.
I'm not interested in value or something like that; just curious about this piece of metal

Can I post a message and some pictures in post-1898 section of the forum?
Thank you all,
Remigio
