Up for grabs is a a Remington 1867 Rolling block rifle in 11.7x51R. Serial number- 59421. The SNs on the barrel and stock match! This rifle is in excellent condition for its age and you would be hard-pressed to find one in better condition! Includes the bayonet and scabbard. Please note the scabbard is broken in 2 as seen in the pictures. The Danes elected to license the Remington design for manufacture in Denmark at the Copenhagen arsenal, which they did in a fairly large quantity. The Danish model first utilized a rimfire cartridge and that stayed in service well into the smokeless era. However, with the adoption of the 8mm M1889 Krag-Jorgensen the need to update or abandon the Remington became acute. In 1896 they were withdrawn from infantry service, converted to centerfire cartridge and issued to coast and fortress artillerymen. At that time a new much longer rear ladder sight was also fitted to the rifles. This one has been converted to centerfire. After World War II a large quantity were sold surplus back to the US where these type first entered civilian hands, being misleadingly sold in large quantity as .45-70 Rolling blocks!

This particular rifle comes complete with the correct issue bayonet, a Yataghan-style saber bayonet of German manufacture. The ricasso of the blade is marked with GEBR. WEYERSBERG. SOLINGEN, the marking of Gebrüder Weyersberg, a maker in the legendary "City of Blades", Solingen, which existed from 1787-1883

This is a fine rifle worthy of any Remington or Scandinavian collection.
