What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.

Very nice, stunning rifle!

Was it originally blued or browned, does it have the usual black powder erosion breech end, that nearly all Snider types suffer from ?
