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:

Nope. And when you google "Friedlein schuetzen rifle" you see a bunch of oktoberfest pictures.

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.
