Description from HiBid
This Swiss Vetterli Model 1869 is a fascinating piece of firearms history and one of the earliest military repeating rifles adopted by a major world power. Chambered in 10mm and equipped with a 33-inch barrel, this bolt-action rifle remains in good condition and features matching serial numbers. The receiver bears the desirable “HCH Rychner Aarau” marking, adding further collector interest. The Vetterli design was revolutionary for its era, combining a tubular magazine with a bolt-action system decades before many nations embraced repeating military rifles. The rifle retains attractive period character and serves as an outstanding example of Swiss craftsmanship and engineering. As an antique firearm, no FFL is required for transfer, making acquisition especially convenient. Whether displayed in a military collection or appreciated as a milestone in firearms development, this Vetterli offers both historical significance and visual appeal. Please see photos.
