IRON repeating breech loader?

Somewhat of a mystery very little is known about this one-of-a-kind gun. The entire gun seems to be constructed out of iron, with the action and barrell housing being slit halves rivited together around the barrell. Even more interesting is the disc-shaped object at the end of the stock. This is a wind-up clock-spring mechanism designed to feed rounds into the breech. An early design of a repeating breech loader.
