Italian Model 1870/87 Vetterli Vitali Bolt Action Rifle, #C9994, 10.4x47Rmm, 23.5" barrel, bright finish, hardwood stock, blade front sight and adjustable folding leaf rear sight. Marked on left side barrel shank with a circled "TORINO/1872". Mismatched number stamped in right side buttstock. Includes a leather sling in good condition. Condition overall is very good as completely re-conditioned, with all finish removed from the metal with some areas now darkening showing old patina. Wood has been sanded smooth and refinished, now very good, showing a few scattered handling marks and scratches. Action operates smoothly; there is darkening in the grooves, otherwise the bore is bright with very good rifling. Est.: $350-$500 (Antique)
