Re: A few questions about a Model 1863

Re: What do I have (danish, but not the standard one).

I am not offended. As you say it yourself, the world is not black and white.

Single hook (folded brass wire like a CW musket sling) in one end, button in other. Leather of the same width, total length.

Re: Which countryman is this

It's on a net auction, have found special guns before because the seller didn't know what he had. Looks as a .50 caliber, and the big steps on the sight might be because of a heavy bullet???
