Back in 1892 she was the cutting edge on the battlefield
Now she is just a bubba'ed pile of parts. But I still see the beauty in the old girl. Like Raquel Welsh, who is 80 I think, you still notice the looks and the quality. The gun was built in Switzerland in 1892 and sent home with a soldier in 1920 as his private weapon. Somebody took great care of the rifle. The bore is perfect, and the parts still fit like they did 129 years ago.

Schon!! Hubsch!!! Wunderbar!!!!
I love those old time Swiss rifles. Built like a Swiss watch, so to speak. Just beautiful the craftsmanship on these old rifles.
Wie Schade, you can't get ammo any more.
