Introduced in 1842, the Kammerlader (breech loader) was the first breech loading percussion rifle to be adopted as a primary arm by a European nation, and remained in service until it was phased out upon the adoption of the Remington Rolling Block rifles in 1867. There are similarities with the American Hall rifles, but the Kammerlader has a much tighter gas seal. It has a blade front sight, sword bayonet lug on the right of the barrel, notch and folding ladder sights, "1863" date and "crown/K" mark of the Kongsberg Arsenal on top of the frame and "Model 1860" on the left. Appears to have been period converted to smoothbore.

Good, with scattered mild pitting and gray and brown patina. Refinished stock is very good with some light handling marks and a few small chips. Mechanically fine.
