what kind of gun is that?
The shootin’ kind. Where’d she get it? At th’ gettin’ place.
What does it do? shoots you That.
A doohickey from the thingamajig store
It was what was called a pocket rifle, which was one of the first types of collapsible/removable stock rifles.The one that she has in particular, was marketed so that you could put the collapsed rifle into a pocket that you would have strapped to the crossbar of your bicycle.
I put a link to a blog with the actual make/model about it further down the chain.
And it's got a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.

Nah, that's not it at all. Looks almost exactly like this Frank Wesson 1870 Large Frame Pocket Rifle Second Type with Stock
