Swedish Model 1851 Kammerlader

[BMF]

Nice Kammerlader. I saw it before on the Gunboards forum...The brass buttons is for attaching a small piece of leather. It can stay in two positions. Across the hammer as a safety, or out of the way.

I made a thread about the development of the norwegian Kammerladers on Gunboards, but there wasn't much interest. I find these old pieces quite fascinating.
The birth of the Kammerlader.

"Gregersen 24 lødig kammerlader 1839."

Someone at svartkrutt mentioned that the 1851 Swede had an earlier origin---looks like the Gregerson is it.
Thanks for the link and photos.
