Interesting Victorian Rook Rifle by Braendlin Armoury

Braendlin Armoury were a prolific manufacturer from 1860 and were a tenant of Tranter. Many, many prestigious retailers were supplied by Braendlin Armoury who seemed to be very active in the "high end" of sporting martini action rifles. This particular rifle is in 380 CF rook rifle which is easy to load for if you wish to place it on a certificate. The rifle appears to be a modified cadet rifle retailed by BSA who were situated down the road from Braendlin and has a flat top rib and fixed sights, very pointable and fast an interesting rifle.
This would fire a heavy low velocity .38 bullet designed to shoot through rook and crow nests with little chance of causing damage in the next village!
The rifle has an external cocking indicator and is Australian marked so was either modified after cadet use or part of a modified contract. An interesting piece of history.
