Field Patent 577/500 No.2 Express

Here are some pictures of my Field rifle.
It is #154 which is very early for a falling block rifle. In fact, Kirton lists the earliest known falling block at #401 and the earliest recorded pivoting block action at #194.
The wood is quite worn, having spent its life in India and well used. The checkering is just about smooth but still visible.
The bore is quite good and I love ovate barrels.
The forend tip is shaped quite nicely too.
