Remington Rolling Block .43 Egyptian Single Shot Rifle (Post Civil War)

The Remington Rolling Block was a single shot black powder cartridge firearm featuring a “rolling” breach block. It was too late for the American Civil War, but it made a huge hit at the 1867 Paris Exhibition, resulting in numerous orders from governments around the world. At the exhibition, Sam Remington was invited by emissaries of the Khedive, Ismael Pasha of Cairo, to come to Egypt to show his new rifle. The Khedive of Egypt was so impressed that he not only ordered the rifle for his army, but gave Remington a plot of land in Cairo where he built a small palace. The first shipments were diverted for the Franco-Prussian war, but by 1875 the Egyptians were receiving large quantities of the rolling block.

This rifle is in impressive condition with little wear on the stock.  The breach mechanism looks sound and works crisply.  All markings are crisp and clear.
