Antique NORWEGIAN Kongsberg Arsenal KAMMERLADER Underhammer .54 Perc. Rifle Norwegian Military Similar to AMERICAN HALL RIFLES

Description:
Antique NORWEGIAN Kongsberg Arsenal KAMMERLADER Underhammer .54 Perc. Rifle

Norwegian Military Similar to AMERICAN HALL RIFLES

Here we present an antique Norwegian Model 1860 Kammerlader Breech Loading Underhammer Percussion Rifle, made circa 1863 at the Kongsberg Arsenal in Kongsberg, Norway.

Introduced in 1842, the Kammerlader (breech loader) was the first breech loading percussion rifle to be adopted as a primary arm by a European nation and remained in service until it was phased out upon the adoption of the Remington Rolling Block rifles in 1867. There are similarities with the American Hall rifles, but the Kammerlader has a much tighter gas seal. It has a blade front sight, sword bayonet lug on the right of the barrel, notch and folding ladder sights, "1863" date and "crown/K" mark of the Kongsberg Arsenal on top of the frame and "Model 1860" on the left.

The overall condition is good+. Weathered, gray patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is smooth and gray in color. The stock shows use and remains solid. Numbers match throughout.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 29-3/4 inches.

Caliber: .54 Percussion
