I know almost nothing about anything mady prior to 1900 but as I understand it the 1888 trap door was made by converting muzzle loaders already in service. the breech block would be original to the rifle as it was converted in 1891...

then again I might as well tell you that it was made in belgium and shoots celery sticks.
