I'm well aware of such, but it is all predicated on it not originally being a 45-70. I believe to have been altered well prior to WWII. I wonder what Fred Adolph was doing in 1909?

Ah, you mean Fred Adolph picked it up while visiting Vienna in 1909, had it rechambered to .45-70, duly brought it to the Vienna proofhouse and then exported it to the USofA??
I have had my share of speculation and will better stop here. Any further clues must come from inspection of the gun and the case, obviously custom-made for the gun.
Or hopefully Oshans has some more knowledge about the rifle's history?
