Dear All,
Would you have any information on that item?
I understand it is a Swedish flare/smoke launcher called model 1913 based on a conversion of a Rollingblock but any additional information would be welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Model 1913
What you have is a "Krevadpatronkarbin m/1913" a shortened and modified Rolling Block carbine.
This was intended only for training purposes, then to simulate artillery fire during infantry attacks, for example.
This carbine was chambered for cartridges in the calibers 12.17x42R, 8x58 or 6.5x55 and then only in the form of blanks.
For this there was a "Krevadpatron" which after firing after about 150 meters gave a sharp bang followed by a number of smaller bangs.
These carbines were replaced in 1916 by a similar one based on the Mauser carbine m/1894 in caliber 6.5x55.
All these carbines were never intended to be used in combat and consequently there was no live ammunition.
