It may not appear if you only have one file.
Basically it means "search". If you only have one directory on you card it may not appear, just scroll down to the filename you want.

	there's a limit on maximum file size, maybe you were over it?

	Ah, it’s an Egyptian Police Snider, configuration of which says it’s a smoothbore “shotgun”. Can’t say why the FP/nipple conversion, ammunition availability either liberated from a policeman or last ditch in the armory to keep it functional…..

	it was an effort to refit it to C&B from the snyder FP , im thinking someone had no cartridges or a source for them in the future but had access to caps and balls as well as powder , how times have changed ............... not knowing the era it was converted nor when it was stored i cannot really comment ojn the thinking of that time but it seems illogical to me ,

	I would lean more towards a backwater EP “armourer” conversion to cap & ball, rather than official Citadel. The supply of British Snider ammo probably ran low in some far-flung outpost, but BP muzzleloading components may have been more readily available. I’m not sure if Egypt ever produced their own Snider ammo, but they did produce .303 for their later EP Martini-Enfields. The goal was to make the EP weapons fairly unusable in the event of capture by criminals, hence the EG MkIII shotguns & their proprietary cartridge. So an underworld conversion of this Snider isn’t impossible, but I’m not sure how likely exporting such a weapon from Egypt would be versus all the obsolete EP guns mentioned above.

	The EP Snider “shotguns” can vary slightly, but cut-down forearm, underbarrel rib, simple rear sight, early breechblock, and handmade sling swivels (that don’t really fit any kind of sling very well) are all pretty spot-on. Never seen one converted to percussion though!
