Wow, I thought for sure that would be a Turkish Peabody-Martini 1874. I'm dissapointed!
|
They are identical Nyles, Save for the stock plate. We owe the Peabody rifle to the Brits BTW. They refused to sell enfields to us Turks. So we asked Mr Peabody of Rhode Island to produce Martini-Henry rifles for us. And If I'm not mistaken, without a proper license.
I would have loved to see Mr Peabody's face when he received the order for an entire Ottoman Army. About 600.000 rifles. These rifles surface here every now and then.:) |
Well, Peabody didn't have the liscence to produce Martini rifles, but Mr. Martini was already infringing Peabody's patent - a Martini is just a Peabody with an internal lock. Switzerland never used to recognize foreign patents, and from what I understand the whole affair is what changed that.

So.. Shall we continue?

Nope.
It looks like a Beaumont-Adams. |

I recognize about half these guns, including the rifle above, but I cannot for the life of me remember what they are. Damn my horrible memory!

About the Tranter Model 1878 Revolver.
It appears this model was specifically designed and produced for British officers in 1878 to be used during Boer war. Here's a link to a nice example for sale with detail pictures: http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/27676...T_ONLY_R1.html |
Friedlein schuetzen rifle
|
Nope. And when you google "Friedlein schuetzen rifle" you see a bunch of oktoberfest pictures. :D
Gentlemen. Please google your answers before you post. |

Is it some kind of falling block action with double set triggers?...Like some sort of German Buchel-Meister Schuetzen Rifle? Well either way i think it is Germen and it is a Schuetzen style target rifle most likely in a 8.15x46R.

I consider the internet as another source. Books being my number 1 source.
