Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In the late 19th century, the Guatemalan government sought to modernize its military forces by acquiring advanced firearms. To this end, Guatemala placed significant orders with E. Remington & Sons for their No. 1 Rolling Block rifles, chambered in the .43 Spanish cartridge. These rifles were part of a broader trend in Latin America, where nations aimed to equip their armies with more efficient and reliable firearms. The Remington Rolling Block rifle, introduced in 1866, featured a robust and reliable action, making it suitable for various military applications. Guatemala's adoption of this rifle reflected its efforts to modernize its military forces during the late 19th century. The rifles procured by Guatemala were typically stamped with “EJERCITO DE GUATEMALA” over the chamber, indicating their official military issue. These markings are indicative of official military issue and distinguish them from civilian models. The .43 Spanish cartridge, also known as 11.15×58mmR, was a black powder round developed by Remington around 1867.

The .43 Spanish cartridge, also known as 11.15×58mmR, was a black powder round developed by Remington around 1867.
It was used in early Rolling Block rifles produced for the Spanish government and later adopted by several Latin American countries, including Guatemala. The cartridge is characterized by its rimmed, bottlenecked design and was a standard military round during the late 19th century. The adoption of the Rolling Block rifle by Guatemala reflects the country's efforts to modernize its military forces during the late 19th century. Many of these rifles show signs of heavy use, including pitting and wear along the wood-to-metal fit areas. Despite their condition, they are considered valuable collectibles due to their historical significance and relative rarity.
