Quote:
M1868 Papal States Remington (Pontificio) Gendarmerie Model
Once again, the unique, famed "Crossed Keys" of St. Peter.
Totally dispositive of the identity of this series of long arms.

Shoot! Back in his day that was a good iron too! Remington '68. With the papal Tiara and the Keys. Wow.

Okay - and does it mean that rifle's one of a set specially made or designed for the Papal States, or only the papal seal on it is the special part?

thanks for the info.
