This is the Swiss Model 1889 rifle, the first of a series of rifles designed by Rudolph Schmidt and using Eduard Rubin's ammunition, which served the Swiss armed forces from 1889 right up into the 1950's until replaced with the SIG 510 or Sturmgewehr 57. Fed from a 12-round magazine, with straight-pull bolt design, in 7.5mm x 53.5 calibre, this rifle, though of 'obsolete calibre' has been deactivated. This particular example is in very good authentic condition with mostly matching serial numbers throughout, and the serial number dates it to 1892. Able to be cocked and dry-fired, and fully field strippable, this rifle comes with a genuine correct leather sling, not the British Army sling shown, and detachable 12-round magazine.
