    This single shot rifle, weighing 22 pounds, was associated with Henry Morton Stanley, explorer/journalist who traveled through Africa in search of Dr. Livingston. Stanley finally located Livingston near the shore of what is today Lake Tanganika. The expedition lasted nine months. The rifle is stamped on the tang - H.M. Stanley.
