Hi Tom, it looks to be in great condition, its a great looking rifle, and also its not required to have a license for it because its prior to 1890.
What kind of ammo did these used?
Thanks for the info.
Cheers.

I does appear to be the .577 snider, it seems that we produced these from 1872 until 1895.
