www.trackofthewolf.com would be a very good place to start. If you email them some pics, they would probably be able to give you a lot of detailed info on the type/use/era that rifle was from. Shoot straight, shoot often. Matt | |||

Hallo FM. Basierend auf dem Foto, würde ich Ihr Gewehr in den späten 1850er Jahren bis 1860 auf den Stil der Bausch Styling und Hardware Laufenden. Ich vermute, dass ist, wurde wahrscheinlich als Langstrecken-Stalking Gewehr anstatt ein Ziel Gewehr auf die Sicherheit, die Schlinge Verbindungselemente und dem Lauf montiert Anblick, von denen ich annehme ist original Basis gebaut. Nur eine Vermutung meinerseits. Regards, Dave (Based on the photo, I would date your rifle to the late 1850s to 1860s based on the style of lock, stock styling and hardware. I suspect that is was likely built as a long-range stalking rifle rather than a target rifle based on the safety, sling fasteners, and the barrel-mounted sight, which I assume is original. Just an educated guess on my part.) One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. - Groucho Marx | |||

I agree; since it is a back action percussion lock, full stock rifle, it is most likely from the late percussion era; 1850 or so. AND, it is a very large bore from American perspective; 18mm is about 70 caliber, which is roughly 12 gauge. It would be nice to know the rifling twist; that will tell you if it is made for a ball or bullet. Built for African game hunting, I can believe. During that era, 12 bore rifles were considered rather small for dangerous game. Four and eight bores were used on eles and rhinos. | |||
