I am very impressed. I have a replica. I have only handled a real one once. Completely out of my price range.

2 Mauser 71s. dtd 1879 and 1880. One is 11 MM and the other converted to 6.5 Daudeteau for the Uraguayan Gov't in 30s I think it was. Both have nice barrels and I shoot both.

1884 Trapdoor made in 1890:

 

[Stophel]

A New England rifle (most certainly Massachusetts) from about 1820-1830. Converted to per-cussed. Also have a German percussion rifle from probably the 1830's-1840's. (The lock used on it is MUCH earlier and was originally flint, though I don't think the rifle itself ever was.)

I have earlier guns, but they're not rifles. A German (or possibly Belgian, actually...) halfstock fowling gun ca. 1760, and my prize German bird gun from about 1700-1720 in its original flint condition.
