A way late entry and rather pitiful. US$50 for both a Snider and some sort of Belgian P/53 copy carbine kluge. The Snider looks like a P/56 or 58 Carbine conversion, but may be just a cut down thing. Stock is cracked badly on the far side of the lock. Bore's not bad, though. Photos to follow if things ever settle down!

What's really sad is the Belgian "Tower" rifled musket carbine thing was thrown in as an afterthought! Even sadder is I couldn't give it away to a friend. Oddly, it may have seen some sort of colonial or cadet use, but by whom I can't imagine what with an 1875 lockplate date.

Because of the Indian Mutiny, native and colonial troops were given smooth bore muzzleloaders and obsolete arms for quite a long time afterwards.
