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 in good shape. 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)
