Here's a little ditty you don't see every day .
I messed with the photo editing a little to try to better read it .......
This is an inspection and issue acceptance stamp on the but stock of an 1866 Chessipot (chass-poh , it's French it doesn't have to make sense) .
It fires a self contained nitrated paper cartridge , although the French used silk for the outer shell in arsenal prepared cartridges , that fire a .433 385 gr bullet 1350 fps with a charge of 86.4 gr of BP generally FFg .
Its a bolt action single shot breach loader needle fire type improved Dryse .
It stands 4'4" and was considered a light "dainty" rifle in it's era 1866-1875 at a svelte 10 lbs 6oz .
The silk encasement captured a significant amount of the powder fouling and acted as a fouling scrubber but also remained intact to the muzzle taking with it the fired musket cap and cartridge ash allowing for 30 or more shots before fouling stopped chambering . So should you find yourself in want of a caseless cartridge now you know what to look for .
Oh there were 2 million produced and this one was among the last produced under Napoleon III 1870 .

nah, it's a Mk II. Many moons ago, I had a Mk I Liberty, I wasn't a fan(I don't like the mags and mag related items on the Mk I), but a close friend sure was and now he has it.

Thanks, doc.
Cobbled it together from a piece of scrap lumber, before I knew about such convenient devices. I am inherently clumsy, or so it seems, and three trigger finger surgeries have done nothing to improve my manual dexterity.

I am a .22 nut and used to have a collection of 22 firsts.
So the Mark 1and all other .22 firsts have a fond place in my memory.
But ye the Mark 2 is definitely an improvement.

fiver I have one of those also...got it for a steal because it was beat to crap! I had to have a 1/4" machined off the muzzle and my machiest friend cut me a nice target muzzle crown
I filed out the dings in the metal , polished it and slow rust blued it. It shoots super and it is my favorite 22 lr pistol!

I doubted it would even work when I got mine, but the 70 dollar price was worth the gamble, especially since it come with an extra magazine and a holster.
it shoots all the cheap whatever I can get ammo into about an inch and a half easy enough, and carries just as easy as the old K-22.
the only 22 pistol I have that is more accurate is the Dan Wesson, but it's the same size as the 6" 357 version so it isn't much of a carry revolver.

Sold all my K-22's and Ruger 22 autos when I found an H&R 199 made in 1931. Nine shot break open revolver with real Roper grips and single set trigger. It will shoot MOA from a Ransom rest at 50 yards with Remington white box standard velocity or CCI Green box. I can't see that well.

Sorry, I meant to respond earlier in the week. If you enjoy iced tea without the tannic acid, try this:
Walkers Tea Concentrate (link to the manufacturer) I bought mine on Amazon. They also sell a decaffenated version that I like too.
I started using it for the convenience. But I have found that I really enjoy the absence of the tannic acid. My wife won't drink brewed tea, but likes this stuff.
The directions say to add 1 ounce of concentrate per gallon of water, but I like my tea stronger and use 2 ounces per gallon. Take a 99 cent gallon jug of water from the store (our tap water is not drinkable), dump in 2 ounces of concentrate and you have a quick jug of tea seconds later.
