A sad day, but needs to go.

This is my French 1867 snuffbox rifle made in St Etienne, basically Frances answer to the Snider and the largest calibre rifle ever issued to an army. Most of these were chopped up and sold to places in Africa as Zulu shotguns.
This one is crisply marked, unmodified and full length. The stock has a number of markings along with the makers signature (Moullard.D of St Etienne)
Action works as it should, bore is bright and shiney.
These fetch a lot of money in France, and are even more rare in the U.K (and you know it!)

£975 ONO

As a matter of interest, is this FAC or Antique Calibre?
