Originally made as a percussion muzzle-loader Model 1856 Jaegergewehr by Francotte of Liege. This is a conversion to breechloading using the Swiss breechloading system of Jakob Amsler (gunmaker of Schaffhausen) and the US design of Isaac Millbank: there were two versions of the Millbank-Amsler (in Swiss parlance, this is known as Amsler-Millbank; the earlier version was based on the large bore rifles of the 1840’s (17.8mm) and then those converted with a slightly altered Milbank-Amsler second pattern system in the Swiss Federal calibre of 10.4mm. This is one of the latter, improved model conversions.
