    Yes, it's a Buffington sight. And I'm glad that my Trapdoor doesn't look like that - if it did, I wouldn't dare to shoot it!

    Quite seriously, that is a rifle that I would only handle with gloves on. I would like to know how it was stored for the past 140-odd years, as those must have been ideal conditions.
