I really hope that Raimey is able to get to see this rifle & inspect the chambers as well as a good chamber cast. If the chambers appear original I bet a casting will reveal it to be other than a 45-70 but maybe close enough that 45-70 will chamber & fire. A good casting & an evening in Dixons book would tell the story! Would also really like to see the blade on that Forestry-Hunting-Shooting Hirschfanger.I think it could be identified in Collecting the edged weapons of Imperial Germany. I have the series & would be glad to help with some good photo's.
