Jägerbüchse M/71

[Spartaner545]

Hi guys,

since this Jägerbüchse will be sold in a few days i finally decided to take picutures and post them here before she leaves me. Nice piece.

Jägerbüchse M/71
Danzig 1876
All matching s/n 4207
no unit marking, looks very much unissued to me.

Pictures also include the matching bayonet, the Hirschfänger 65/71 and M/71. The HF 65/71 is the early version with 3 rivets, later 65/71 and the M/71 feautres 5 rivets.

With kind regards

Vincent

PS: This rifle was "deactivated" with a welded steel piece in the chamber.

Vincent, what a nice looking example! It's a shame it was deactivated, but when it looks like that I wouldn't necessarily care. Nice and crisp, and Danzig doesn't have a ton of reported examples. Sorry to hear you're letting it go.

I'm equally smitten with the bayonet

As always, thanks for sharing,!

Very nice rifle!

Very pleased Vincent posted pictures of the rifle, was able to add the cypher note to the trends (and linked here so collectors in the future can find it easy); too bad about the deactivation, but at least it survived intact, it's no worse than the idiocy over here chopping obsolete historical examples, that are no threat to anyone (more to the would-be shooter than any victim...)

Thank you all for your kinds words. It was one of my first rifles but all good things must come to an end and now someone has the privilage to own such a pice in his collection.

With kind regards

Vincent
