Can help me verify the following, and tell me the approximate date of build?
I have a Lemnan Lancaster rifle that I can find very little info on. It has no serial numbers marked anywhere. I have found that Henry Leman was against any breech loaded rifle, but Paul Leman instructed his staff to experiment with the new metalic cartriges.
- Is there any information to tell me that this was one of those experimental rifles?
- What would be the approximate year (post civil war most likely)?
- What caliber or cartridges would likely have been used?
Thanks
