A Belgian Genhart system turret rifle
octagonal barrel with bright, rifled bore. Cal. 9mm. On top dovetailed front sight and foldable rear sight. Top-mounted horizontal turret holding ten rounds, fired by amorces. The lid of the turret fully engraved with tendrils and mascarons, the chambers numbered with gold-inlaid numerals. A lever on the left side cocks the hammer. Half-stock with iron furniture, no finish, a bit bumped and with signs of wear. Length 96 cm.
Heinrich Genhart, Liège, had his turret gun design for pistols and rifles patented in the 1850s in Belgium and the USA. Their commercial success was rather limited, which makes these rifles extremely rare. In good condition!
This rifle will be shipped from Austria (Vienna).
