<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smarko, post: 229533, member: 4479&quot;]Oh, so many answer. First of all, I would like to thank you all for helping us with an answers!!!</p><p>So, my friend inherited this rifle from his father in law. His father in law found this rifle on attic of very old, German house which was tear down. I am from Serbia and this is of course, Balcan region where many armies came across and many wars were fought. Also, Vojvodina (part of Serbia) was part of Austro-Hungarian empire before WW1. Part of the Vojvodina was inhabited with German population, most of them expelled after WW2 as retribution for atrocities German and Austro Hungarian army committed during WW1 and WW2. Part of the culture here was that every house has a gun, so this was probably leftover from that time, just nobody bothered to check that old attic hidden places till someone tear that house down. </p><p>About the gun and the year, sorry for maybe false information. We suspected that it may be from 1849 (we concluded that this is definitely not modern rifle - this is how much we knew<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />), because of the number of 49 on it. </p><p>Again, thank you very much, I will listen to your advises and try to investigate more. Frankly, it is exciting to find such piece and than connect the dots with it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>All the best <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
