Original Swiss Vetterli Model 1869/71 Bolt Action Military Rifle

An very early production original Swiss Vetterli Repetiergewehr Model 1869/71 Bolt Action Military Rifle, made in Switzerland. Serial # 1115X. Has a scarce Rychner & Keller, Aarau maker receiver marking! They only made a few thousand Model 1869/71 rifles. Chambered in 10.4x38mm Swiss Rimfire.  The condition of this rifle is antique “very good”. The bore is excellent, with sharp rifling. This example has matching numbers on receiver, bolt, and trigger guard, but mismatched numbers on stock and forend. (Those are both marked “900”.) Please see the photos.  Cleaning rod is absent, but they are available from several online vendors. The stock has just modest handling wear — particularly nice wood for a 158-year old rifle.  A wonderful piece of Swiss history! (UCA-891)
