This recently acquired Snider is virtually identical, being also a Belgium contract P/1858 Navy Short Rifle that was converted to a ...

On the heel of the steel butt plate behind the proof marks is a 30 and behind that but upsidedown is 661.

2022年12月16日 · Your Snider carbine is, as your own research has pointed to, a commercially made/converted example. The lock plate markings are authentic, however being a TOWER marked lock it has come from a non- interchangeable arm, this being backed up by the square-winged side-nail washers which are also an indication of a non-interchangeable arm (round ...
