It goes on and on.
There's a lot of period and modern text noting the Victorian Royal significance of the man this rifle was built for.
I've been very much consumed in the excavation of information on this man Earnest Leopold, the 4th Prince of Leiningen.

I should salute the efforts of the Google Book Search Project.
It's amazing how much information they've throw up on the web for research purposes. There are thousands of old out-of-print books that can be viewed and searched via high quality scanned image files.
In many cases you can download complete texts for your personal research projects.
It's really neat. I don't know how far I would have gotten in this effort without that resource.

Thanks Google!

I'll post more on the rifle itself later.
Time to put the machine down for a while and think about getting some sleep.
This recent study has cost me a few hours of shuteye.
