Unusual Continental Rifle

[Feltwad]

Enclosed are images of a unusual percussion continental rifle .It is about a 14 bore size and by its build I would say it is a Schutzian target rifle with a reverse hammer which is unusual with a target style full stock and of good weight

Unusual is an understatement. Beautiful rifle. That shows that Ergonomics isn’t a new idea.

I've seen some percussion conversions of wheellocks with a reverse hammer like that as well as schuetzen, but it looks too heavy for that

Well she is unique. Would be a fine addition to any collection.

I wonder who Herr Scheller was, and where he operated? It looks VERY Germanic, but from way before there was ever a Germany. Tyrolean, perhaps? Or Swiss?

That’s a new one for me. Unusual but very neat.
