I believe this is a Norwegian Model 1860/67 Naval Kammerlader two band
Landmark conversion to rimfire.
Info I have found:
The new Kammerlader rifles had a short active service, and were soon converted to fire metallic cartridges. When the metallic cartridge was adopted along with the Remington rolling block rifle in 1867, most of the Model 1860 Kammerlader rifles were converted to the new caliber. Two conversion systems were used. The Army used the system of Jacob Lund and the Navy relied on the system of Jens Landmark. The conversions are called Lund's rifles and Landmark's rifles. The new calibre was decided to be 12.17 mm, and the new cartridge got the official designation '12 mm Remington' (also known as 12.17x44, 12x42, 12.17x42, 12.7x44 and similar).
Enjoy
ps: should have cut the grass.
