Please note that this is an automatic translation. In case of any discrepancies between the original and this translated version, the original version shall prevail.

From a collection: a handsome classic bolt-lock military rifle/shotgun (cartridge type), c. 1870.

Genuine, no purchase licence required.

High-quality and reliable.

Uses black powder shotgun cartridges.

Length about 115 cm and calibre about 16 mm.

Mechanisms work; it may be in firing condition.

Numerous stamps: receiver marked 1866–74 and French Tulle marks,

the firearm made before 1879.

Barrel shows cartridge/shot conversion marks dated 1883, 1885, and other stamps.

Barrel serial number is lower than the receiver's, so the barrel was swapped during modifications,

the barrel is likely older than the receiver.

In any case, the firearm is about 150 years old.

Rear marked with military weapon number 49.

In tidy condition; neat, handsome and functional.

If you intend to shoot it you will need a firearm licence, and if you use modern shotgun cartridges

the barrel should at least be tested by a professional to ensure it can withstand modern ammunition, as this has not been inspected/tested for smokeless powder.
