Hi Lancaster

thanks for doing the work that I was too lazy to do - copying the pictures etc!
Alive and well, thanks too, after some hospital visits recently.

Check the maker, Leithner in Ischl. I did not realize before he was active into breech loader times. This is quite the nonplusultra Ischlerstutzen. Interesting to see all those little muzzleloader details that were retained, including the little golden "Gams" in the cheekpiece - was this a "trademark" of Leithner?
I guess at that time, 1880 and compared to muzzleloader ballistics, .450 BPE was quite advanced.

Here is a similar rifle, caliber 12.5 mm Lefaucheux.

And some older percussion rifles from Leithner:

In the Rock Island auction Feb 17

The Westley 1869 is a bit rough (replacement forend and likely butt)but interestingly proved at 48 bore.
That equates to .461" so may be chambered in a Gibbs cartridge.

Here is one more Ischler Stutzen by Leithner, an early breech loader.
Interesting how the muzzleloader apperance is kept

By 1860, some of the Lefaucheu-action-type guns were being noticed in India & hope and speculation they could be made in larger calibres, suitable for dangerous game.

Interesting Lancaster - not sure if that 'part' on the forward edge of the action, but it's like a rear peep sight arrangement?
Definitely unusual that is for sure.
Perhaps DoubleD might be able to shed dome light on this one......most unusual indeed!
Corker find mate as always!

This is a single shot you fellows over in Europe may have seen before. I was told it was built by a guy in Ontario in 1912, but ?????
Model 71 action, S# on it is 3886N. That is the only stamping on the top-side of the action. It has a 29 1/2" bl. and is chambered in 8.15x46R.
It is obvious from the muzzle and breech, this rifle has been re-lined. Interesting choice of calibres.

It is a lot of fun to shoot offhand. Holds like a dream!
Jacketed ammo is loaded with 174gr. RN .312" Hornady's, which it shoots as well as the .314" 198gr. cast bullets I first tried.
I will attempt to pick up a .315" mould, as that is the groove dia. of this rifle.
I consistently was able to hit the big rectangular plate at 200 meters, offhand, with both jacketed and cast bullets. The plate is 14" x 16".

ALEX HENRY
A .45-90 CAL. HENRY PATENT FALLING-BLOCK SPORTING RIFLE, serial no. 5771,
36in. black powder proofed replacement two stage barrel, tunnel fore-sight, the hand mounted with a vernier rear-sight, plain action, cranked right hand lockplate signed 'A. HENRY', some external pitting, 14 1/4in. stock including 5/8in. ebonite extension, sling eyes, weight 10lb.

Provenance: Noted historian Donald Dallas has provided us with the following information:

This is an incredibly rare 3rd quality sealing rifle sold in 1884. Henry built around 478 sealing rifles for use in and around Greenland on the whalers. Due to their hard usage virtually none survive and this is the ONLY example I have ever come across!

Must have been 'sniping' at the seals with this one Lancaster with a peep of that travel range!
Amazing considering the salt water exposure, it appears to be in pretty good nick alright!

I think what this rifle started as and what it is now is not the same. The clue is in the description,'.45-90 CAL." and "replacement two stage barrel". Sights are a clue also.

I think Author Dallas is reporting is what it says in Henry files as to what this rifle was sent out as. Not what it is now.

Exactly.
Could have had a bad bore and as such a good candidate to rebarrel and sight as a long range black powder cartridge rifle.
A lot more interesting than a Sharps or Winchester 1885 in my opinion.

A like-condition original 16 to 18 pound Model 74 Sharps would most certainly have a higher re-sale price. A lighter, standard Sharps, maybe not - I do not know.
As a shooter & talking point around here, no contest, the Alex Henry all the way - OH WOW!

What’s the story with the Wesson rifles that look very similar to a henry? What came first?
