The Pieper Rifle.
      28/05/11 12:47 PM

I am hoping someone can assist me with some answers about a rifle I have just picked up. On the top of the octagonal Barrel is marked "The Pieper Rifle" 44WCF. It is a Martini Action,and it appears to have a cocking indicater simliar to many BSA martini actions. BUT this one is checkered on the top and by pushing it forward one is able to decock the action or by pushing it back the action can be cocked. The Bore is mint condition, no pitting and very strong visible rifleing. The stock has very nice wood in great condition. A four digit serial number. The original sights are missing and someone had attached a period aperture site and a fine front sight. I know pieper made many different firearsm in Liege, but I can not find much on this rifel. 1. When was it made? 2. Is it nitro proof? There is no load stamped on the barrel or action as many martinis have. Any help would be appreciated.
