Thanks.

Well, it's an early muzzle loader to breech loader conversion; but which one, I don't know. Any specialized collector or weapons historian on the forum?
Pretty sure I have seen pictures of this rifle before; but no recollection as to which it is, or from what country.
Cheers.

Two Rivers: The rear is simillar to the vterelli, but that was bolt action. (1878 that is)Then again I am no expert on these, though I did stay at Hoilday Inn once.

No, the Vetterli is a true turn-bolt action cartridge firearm, not a conversion with percussion ignition.
