BEURET FRERES, LIEGE
A 46-BORE PERCUSSION SINGLE-SHOT TARGET RIFLE, MODEL 'SCHUTZENFEST 'MILITARY' MATCH', serial no. 1224,
made for the Swiss market circa 1860, with round 33in. rifled barrel, dove-tailed blade fore-sight, elevating tangent rear-sight with wing-nut lock, plain elongated colour-hardened top-tang, plain hump-back lock signed 'BEURET FRERES LIEGE', plain walnut full-stock with 'roman-nose' comb, heavy iron hooked butt-plate, re-inforced trigger-guard tang, double-set triggers, finger-spur to the trigger-guard bow, iron roll-tipped nose-cap, iron under-barrel ram-rod with captive sliding ball-guides, socket to the right hand side of muzzle and iron sling swivels, TOGETHER WITH its seldom encountered iron, concave triangular cross-section bayonet.
Other Notes: These 'rule-bending' arms were specifically produced for use in events which required bayonets to be attached whilst firing and obviously completely out-classed the competitors who could only afford the standard military service arm of the day.
