Original Belgian M-1867 Albini-Braendlin 11mm Breech Loading Rifle Converted to Percussion - dated 1867 U.S. Air Force with the rest flaked awayOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is an interesting Belgian Percussion rifled musket, which as far as we can tell was converted from a BREECH LOADING Albini Braendlin rifle. The markings, the style, and the shape all match. We assume that this was a cadet or more likely colonial issue rifled musket, which would serve to limit the possibilities should it be captured by the native population. We can see wooden shims around the breech plug area,
