Original Swiss Vetterli Model 1881 Bolt Action Military Rifle

An original Swiss Vetterli Repetiergewehr Model 1881 Bolt Action Military Rifle, made in Switzerland. Receiver is marked: Waffenfabrik, Bern M81. The condition of this rifle is quite nice. It is in very good+  condition, with just minor stock dings and 95% original arsenal bluing on the barrel, and receiver.  The buttplate has about 70% original finish, with some mottling. Serial # 21466X. Chambered in 10.4x38mm Swiss Rimfire.  The bore is excellent — shiny with sharp rifling. This example has matching numbers on receiver, bolt, and trigger guard. Please see the photos.  The stock has just modest handling wear — particularly nice wood for a 143-year old rifle. A wonderful piece of Swiss history! (BCA-885)
