Muzzleldrs Austrian DornStutzen Pirko

[Urrikane]

Goodmorning everyone!
after several attempts, I finally managed to shoot well with my two dornstutzen, with the original lorentz ball !!!
The Dornstutzen Pirko proved to be better than the other, in fact, all pirko weapons are much more detailed and more accurate in manufacturing.

This is my first dornstutzen:

engravings: 208-18
soldier No. 14
2nd company
18th Jager battalion
(Soldier recruited in Brescia -Italy in 1855)

For the identification of the soldier it must be kept in mind that the Jager Battailon included 194 men armed with rifles during the war, so the 208th of the Battalion was the 14th of the 2nd Company (208-194 = 14 )

This is the Dornstutzen Pirko (It looks new)

CP -CARL PIRKO

CP-CARL PIRKO W-WIEN

soldier No. 24
2nd company
22th Jager battalion
Soldier transferred to Przemysl

I used 4 gram ( 62 grain) Swiss black powder FFG, 100 meters with rest, this is the result:

Is that curved thingie with numbers an adjustable rear sight?

I've always liked the Dornstutzen M1854 in its original unaltered form. The modified version known to have been imported in the CW with a ram rod, different sights, and so on, just doesn't look right to me.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow!
For a rifle that latter one is! Thank YOU for sharing!
As you´re probably aware we see them things over here in Europe too,but rarely..very rarely in a condition like that.
Just..WOW.

In fact,there´s an auction coming up with a few Lorenz rifles in a week or so.
