An exceptionally nice rook rifle!
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

At 80 I'm in my "2nd Childhood", wouldn't mind having a "Toy" like that to play with now.

Love the octagon barrel and engraving. Nice touch of gold at the muzzel end. Very lucky boy indeed!

It may not have been for a boy, maybe for a Jaeger in the off season.

Mike, may be, but if you have hold it in your hand, you would tend to a boy's rifle... But of course it's also a wonderful toy for hunters.  Gunwolf

Lovely w/ the Mannlicher / Mannlicher Schoenauer style stock.
Wolfgang, did you make a stab @ the calibre? I'd say the custodian @ in the early to mid 1890s traded it in for a newer modell??

Raimey, no I didn't. You may be right with your thoughts.

Gunwolf,
Did you buy it? If so, maybe we can ID the nominal caliber, and maybe you can shoot it.
