I have this Breda marked rifle with a rotary magazine. Its only the action that could be worth any money as the barrel and stock are poor.
I can't find any auctions on GB for this type of rifle and was wondering if anyone has seen sales of this type of gun.
Action is VG and its marked Breda also has 1928 on it as well as what looks like a Swiss marking on the receiver ring.
Any help would be appreciated.
I cannot post pictures.
Thanks.

  I have an old rifle called a Breda. It is dated 1927 after Breda on the side. The markings on top of the receiver is a cross inside a square and Y.1903/14. It has a proof mark or something on the left side of the barrel and receiver and a small star on top of the barrel. It is a split receiver and has a flat bolt handel and a Manlicher style walnut stock with a cheek piece and fold down rear sight. The serial is Axxx. I would like to know what caliber it is and approximate value.
  Thanks
  Joe

  You have a Greek Army rifle, that was made in Italy. It has a Mannlicher Schoenauer action that is unusual, and only used by the Greeks for their military rifles.
  
  Depending on originality and cosmetic condition it could have substantial value to a military rifle collector. It's chambered for the 6.5mm rimless M-S cartridge.
