....and there seem to be soooo many iterations of this rifle in type and caliber. This seems to definitely be a military model since it has a bayonet lug and a long one at that - I'm thinking some type of saber since it looks like the lug on my Chassepot (but the Chassepot bayo doesn't fit). No caliber markings....or any markings save a few very small crowns, on the hammer, the receiver, barrel and one (middle) barrel band - all on the left side. No other dates, codes, stamps, etc, besides the 2 line patent info on the tang. Butt does have a "G" inside a circle but that's it.

So, any RRB experts out there? Centerfire? Rimfire? Caliber? Ideas on where this was contracted out to? I assume Europe for the crown stamp.
