Swedish model 1860/64/68, Caliber 12.17x44mm rimfire. Swedish made modified type 2 
I believe this is a model 1.
1886 Swedish, Remington made, 12.17X44, most converted to centerfire. Type 2, ( found with both locking scres or Remington button pin retainer.
Model 1870 Cavalry Carbine, made by Carl Gustafs. 12.17X44. Type 2
model 1864/68/85 Artillery Carbine, 12.17X44. Made from cut down Transformed rifles
model 1867/89, 8X58mm Modified and re-hardened Swedish made. All have the linear extractor screw channel plugged and the breach block replaced.

Type 2 not to be confused with model 2 which is a mid size action

All the Swedish military Rolling Blocks are #1 models. Only the Type 33 commercial was a smaller action. Not a #1 1/2 or #2, but Husqvarna's own version in size and shape.

One of the beauties of the '89 conversion is that the 8x58R shares the same size case head as the .45-70 family of cartridges so there is no need to modify the extractor when building a rifle in any of those calibers.
