1878 Swiss Vetterli

Another sec 58 firearm I am moving on.
Its a standard military issue rifle in 12.7 x 44
This one has been converted to centre fire and would make an excellent addition to fac.
The bore of this rifle is mirror like with excellent rifling. Very minor pitting along one groove for about 4 inches.
The whole rifle is in super condition and the action is very tight.
I would say it has hardly been fired.
Excellent bluing and lovely walnut wood work. Just the occasional ding and scratch.
Sale includes a lee die set, a rare custom lee mould that throws a 44cal 335gn bullet and about 35 cases or so.
To be sold as one lot @£850
An extra £300 buys you a matching butcher bayonet.
Photos to follow.
