Description from HiBid
This Italian Vetterli-Vitali rifle produced at Torre Annunziata is a fascinating example of military firearms evolution. Chambered in 10.4mm and featuring a substantial 34-inch barrel with a shiny bore, this rifle remains in good condition and showcases the improvements made when Italy converted earlier single-shot Vetterli rifles into repeating arms using the Vitali magazine system. Retaining its original wood furniture, military lever sight, and accompanied by a bayonet, this rifle offers excellent historical and display appeal. The Vetterli-Vitali served Italian forces during a period of rapid military modernization and represents one of the earliest successful magazine-fed military rifles adopted by a European nation. Collectors appreciate these rifles for their unique mechanical design, impressive size, and connection to late 19th-century military history. This example would make a standout addition to any antique military firearms collection. Please see photos. Torre Annunziata Vetterli-Vitali 10.4mm Bolt 34 Shiny Good
