Original U.S. Peabody M1868 Romanian Contract Falling Block Military Rifle Converted To 32 Gauge Sporting Gun German Ordnance I slid my element over

I slid my element over the rest of the formation to get protection from their guns

It still has proper adjustment holes and both correct WW2 pattern steel hooks (fittings) with the original finish mostly worn away
