Re: 1878 Maastricht Beaumont rifle
It's a Dutch Beaumont Vitali M1871/88 long rifle-a conversion of the M1871 rifle with a bolt mounted extractor added and a magazine cut off added on the left side of the receiver-will be in 11.3mm x 51R round black powder-4 round magazine-Dutch service rifle until replaced by the Mannlicher types at the end of the 19th century but like many other older weapons still used in the colonies and as a reserve weapon until 1940. A steal at that price!
