I placed it next to my 1842 Springfild for length comparison.

I think it is a model 1854 Austrian rifle.

I did not say it was a Lorenz. There is another model 1854 rifle in the Austrian arsenal evolved from the earlier Jagerstutzen rifles. Perhaps you call it a "Garabaldi" but the pattern is 1854 not 1849 unless the hammer has been replaced. It does not have the severely curled hammer of the 1849.
