Description from HiBid
This Swiss Vetterli rifle chambered in .41 Swiss is a fascinating relic from the golden age of military firearms innovation. Featuring a 33-inch barrel with a dark bore and fair overall condition, this rifle represents one of the earliest successful military repeating rifle systems adopted by a major European nation. Swiss Vetterli rifles earned a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and advanced design during a period when many armies were still fielding single-shot arms. Please note that this example is missing both the bolt and forend, making it best suited for restoration, display, or as a source of original parts. Despite these missing components, the rifle retains considerable historical significance and visual appeal. Antique Swiss military rifles continue to attract collectors due to their quality, rarity, and role in the evolution of repeating firearms technology. Please see photos.
