No, it's a breach loader. Note the underlever and also the cartridges in the top section of the fitted case.




The cartridges completely missed my eye.

I wondered if the hook was just a finger hook. I looked for a hinge.

There is a breech line unlike a muzzleloader.

I don't know what all the tools do but wondered if some were muzzle loading tools. I'm guessing they are brass case reloading tools, bullet mould, powder measure etc.

But it looked like a breech loader because it is.
