[QUOTE="Seedy, post: 1032696, member: 10694"] I'm looking for info on this Rifle... [attach=full]73707[/attach] From what I can tell, it is a Dutch Beaumont-vitali M1871-88. The date on the barrel is 1875, the butt-plate is stamped 1890. The cartouche on the stock has mostly been sanded away by whomever "refinshed" the it :( I've included pics of it, but all I can decipher is the "W" and can't read a date. There apears to be a second cartouche on the stock, but I don't know what it is or means. The gun appears to have started life as an M1871 in 1875. I'm guessing it was converted to a "vitali" repeater in 1890...but I guess the bolt and receiver could have been changed before the stock...any thoughts? From what I've found this it shoots a 11x52R metallic cased [b]black powder[/b] loaded round...I've found some ammo for it on the net, but it was $80 for 20 rounds. I don't think this is going to be a "shooter"... There are some cracks in the stock...should I be concerned about them? [attach=full]73708[/attach] [attach=full]73709[/attach] Any other info you can tell me about the gun, or the hallmarks on it would be appreciated :) I haven't yet decided if I want to keep it or part with it...any ideas on possible value? [attach=full]73710[/attach] [attach=full]73711[/attach] [attach=full]73712[/attach] Cartouche (or what's left of it!) [attach=full]73713[/attach] Possible second cartouche: [attach=full]73714[/attach] I really like the design of the rear sight from an aesthetic point of view: [attach=full]73715[/attach] [attach=full]73716[/attach] [/QUOTE]
