Danzig 71 Jager

[cj556]

Here’s another recent pickup, thanks to Chris for finding me this one. All matching down to the screws and unit marked to a Jager regiment. Seems to be a later one with an 1884 mfg date and 1885 issue date. She looks untouched showing some grime and patina from the years. I’m quite happy to have this one completing the three major models of 71s.

Need a 71/84 now bro!

But seriously, glad this one turned up in the stash we found.

We do not get many of these to record, nice its Danzig, though seemingly only three mfg... these see pretty rarely encountered. Nice unit too!

I added it to the trends, pretty sparse sample, especially this nice.

Very nice Jager rifle! Nice that is also marked to a Jager battalion. I would love to come across one someday.
