Whitworth target rifle

One of the most sough-after long-distance rifle in both side of the American Civil War, one such rifle was used by a Confederate sniper at the battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse to land a hit just below Union Major General John “Uncle John” Sedgwick’s left eye, who himself probably gave us the best last word ever uttered :

    “What? Men dodging this way for single bullets? What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? Why are you dodging like this? They couldn’t hit an elephant at this distance.”

Mousqueton Treuille de Beaulieu Mle1854 1er Type - Treuille de Beaulieu M1854 1st Type carbine

Designed by Antoine Hector Thésée de Beaulieu, made by the Manufacture d’Arme de Chatellerault in France c.1854.
9,9x41 pinfire copper-based cardboard proprietary cartridge, single-shot open-bolt falling-block action, lance-bayonet with 86cm-long blade.
This carbine was designed to equip Napoleon III of France’s elite bodyguard regiment, the Cent-Gardes. It was among the very first metallic cartridge firearms employed by any military, which explains its odd operation - you must learn to walk before you can ride a horse and kill Prussians.
The Treuille de Beaulieu Mle1854 used a proprietary round made with a copper base, a cardboard body and a brass firing pin and extraction loop.

Treuille de Beaulieu cartridge 1st type

The gun’s breech was opened by pulling down on the firing assembly, which served as a breech block, a hammer and a cocking handle all at once. The gun could be put back on half cock once a cartridge was chambered, but this was an extremely unsafe safety as the face of the hammer remained extremely close to the round’s pin

The Treuille de Beaulieu action, fully cocked.

After discharging the gun using its long trigger, the soldier can open the breech and extract the cartridge using its brass loop.
A 2nd type of carbine was issued later that did away with the pinfire mechanism, instead opting to sit the internal percussion cap directly against the now all-brass wall of the cartridge and igniting it with a raised hammer face - instead of the former flat one. This would render the half-cock safety slightly safer.

Glaive Mle1855

~50cm long steel blade with double fullers on each face, cast brass hilt/grip piece.
An evolution of the Mle1831 infantry sword, with fullers to make it lighter. This was issued to non-combatants, specifically sappers-firefighters and cantinières, who didn’t need the short heavy blade meant for utility in other branches of the military.

 

British Pattern 1796 Infantry Officer’s Sword

    The blade of this spadroon features the remains of blue and gilt decoration, with some of the gilding remaining, as well as extensive acid etched motifs, which are still clear and go a long way up the blade beyond the blued area. The blade is in nice condition and solid in the hilt. The hilt overall is in good condition, in good shape and the folding drop fully functioning. The double-shell guard is rather loose, due to the loss of the leather washer (which could be reinstated fairly easily, using a split washer), but the rest of the hilt is tight and secure. This was the regulation sword carried by the majority of British infantry officers through the Napoleonic Wars from 1796 and up until 1822.

 

Kunze side by side Shotgun

Manufactured by E. Kunze in Wiehe, Thüringen c.1862.
12 gauge horizontal pinfire - 1849 Joseph Lenoir patent, break action.
Horizontal pinfire cartridges were developed in the mid-19th century by gunsmiths such as Lenoir as a sort of hybridization between needle gun and pinfire mechanisms. It had the advantage over regular pinfire rounds of being loaded easily without need of aligning the pin with its notch in the barrel/cylinder. The pin was indeed aligned with the center axis of the cartridge, and would strike a percussion cap seated at the base of the bullet much like in a Dreyse paper cartridge. The advantage over said needle gun was that the pin, being part of the cartridge rather than that of the rifle, would not need to be changed every hundred shots by disassembling the gun.
