12 Ga Flare pistol?

[Incitatus]

Came across this yesterday at a show. Looks like a full size .45auto frame but the barrel tips up to take a 12ga(?) round. Bottom of the mag is in the grip and not removable, full mag might be welded in. No marks at all that I could see. Could not take it down so no idea what is inside.

Aside from legalities, what is this thing? Never saw a pistol like it. Very well made BTW.
