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 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-889)
