Original Swiss Vetterli Model 1878 Bolt Action Military Rifle

An original Swiss Vetterli Repetiergewehr Model 1878 Bolt Action Military Rifle, made in Switzerland. Serial # 17774X. Chambered in 10.4x38mm Swiss Rimfire. The condition of this rifle is exceptional! It is in near excellent condition, with just minor stock dings and 99% original arsenal bluing!  Cleaning rod is absent, but they are available from several online vendors. The bore is very good+ with sharp rifling and some shine. 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 145-year old rifle.  A wonderful piece of Swiss history! (BCA-889)
