I was wondering if I could get your help identifying this rifle please see the pictures below.
I received this from my grandfather as part of his collection it looks to be a bishop brelete. and has an octagon barrel. There does not seem to be a serial number. Would anyone happen to know approximate age or any history on this rifle. Thanks again.
Could it be somethong Belgian, because of the letter B with a crown? 'Brevete' is also French or Wallon. Bishop used to make rifle stocks, but that was (is?) an American company.
Looks like a Remington Rolling Block rifle. Not sure on the specifics as this rifle was exported to various countries and most likely made in numerous configurations. That should provide the start to your research, however.
