Original Swiss Vetterli Model 1878 Bolt Action Military Rifle

An original Swiss Vetterli Repetiergewehr Model 1878 Bolt Action Military Rifle, made in Switzerland. Serial # 18623X. Chambered in 10.4x38mm Swiss Rimfire.  Receiver is marked: Waffenfabrik, Bern M78. The condition of this rifle is exceptional! It is in near excellent condition, with just minor stock dings and 98% original arsenal bluing! The bore is excellent, 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 144-year old rifle.  A wonderful piece of Swiss history! (UCA-887)
