Description

THIS IS A MINT CONDITION, 100% MATCHING AND CORRECT 1887 DATED  SPANDAU MADE M/71.84 INFANTRY RIFLE. IT IS EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT WALNUT STOCK AND DEEP CARTOUCHES. THE BORE IS MINT AND THE RIFLE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BEST PART IS THAT IS IS UNIT MARKED TO THE VERY FAMOUS 4TH GUARDE  REGT. THESE RIFLES WERE ONLY IN FRONT LINE SERVICE FOR JUST A FEW YEARS UNTIL THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE GEW  88 COMMISSION RIFLE.  NONE THE LESS, THEY DID SEE EXTENSIVE SERVICE IN WW1 WITH  REAR LINE TROOPS AND RESERVE REGIMENTS AND ALSO FOR TRAINING
