Topic: Identifying this old rifle ?

Sukio · August 8th, 2007

I always like Enfield Rifles, the fact that you have one so old is, well, rare.

I have seen recreations, but, never a original. Even, if it does not ever fire again, it is still in my opinion a elegant weapon. The thing that makes weapons like this so special, is that the British in 1856, still had a empire. Which means, your short rifle, may have seen foreign lands, in a different time. Even though it is hard to track them, I personally believe that antique weapons can always tell stories.

Congratulations, for you posses a piece of history, it is a fine weapon.
