Description

Here's a great example of the first Mauser - the M1871. With the formation of the German Empire following their victory of the French during the Franco-Prussian War, the newly unified state of Germany sought to update its arsenal with arms that utilized the latest and greatest in military technology - the self contained brass, centerfire cartridge. After a rather short series of arms trials, a design created by two brothers, Paul and Wilhelm Mauser, was eventually adopted by the German military. This rifle would be designated the Gewehr M1871, and would form the basis for the basically all of the countries' standard infantry rifles for more than 75 years. The M1871 would go on to be produced for only 13 years, before the pattern was updated to the M71/84; incorporating a magazine tube to make the rifle into a multi-shot repeater. With the adoption of the 71/84, the antiquated singleshot M1871 rifles were quickly phased out of service, making original examples quite rare on the modern collector market.

This particular example is in good condition and made by the famous Danzig arsenal, a large arms manufactory dating back to the 18th Century. The bolt action works well and the chamber is good with no damage or major pitting.

The stock is full length and quite sound. The barrel is also full length and features a set of original unmodified sights. The bore is fair with strong rifling and some minor surface rust throughout. It would likely clean up with a brass brush and some elbow grease.

The furniture is all original and in good condition; including the cleaning rod, which is full length.
