Back to M1853/67 French "Tabatiere" Dragoon Rifle

M1853/67 French "Tabatiere" Dragoon Rifle                                            Notes from the Owner:     You'll note a conversion mark -- "227 B" -- on all parts relating to the conversion to tabatiere;      including some screws, on the butt stock and on the bottom of the breechblock itself.     Also, you'll note a "9BRE" in the buttstock rondel.  Can't be positive but I believe this likely     refers to manufacture (or final proof/acceptance) in September of that year -- "Septembre" en     francais.  Dave.
