MON DEC 16, OUTSTANDING PRUSSIAN M/71.84 INFANTRY RIFLE, TOTALLY MATCHING, UNIT MARKED TO THE KAISER ALEXANDER GARDE-GRANADIER REGT, MINT CONDTION, PRE98 ANTIQUE!

THIS IS A MINT CONDITION, 100% MATCHING AND CORRECT 1887 DATED SPANDAU ARSENAL MADE M/71.84 PRUSSIAN INFANTRY RIFLE. THIS IS A VERY SHARP LOOKING RIFLE THAT IS ONE OF THE NICEST EXAMPLES THAT WE HAVE COME ACROSS.  THIS RIFLE IS UNIT MARKED TO THE FAMOUS OLD KAISER ALEXANDER GARDE GRENADIER REGIMENT, PART OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD OF THE KAISER.

THESE RIFLES WERE ONLY IN FRONT LINE SERVICE FOR JUST A FEW YEARS TILL THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE GEW 88 COMMISION RIFLE. NONE THE LESS, THEY DID SEE EXTENSIVE SERVICE IN WWI AMONGST BACK LINE AND RESERVE TROOPS AND ALSO FOR TRAINING. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE AND THEY MAKE WONDERFUL DISPLAY PIECES LIKE THIS WITH THE VERY CRISP CARTOUCHES. THIS IS AN ANTIQUE RIFLE SO NO FFL OR C&R ARE REQUIRED FOR PURCHASE.
