Italian Model 1870 Vetterli Bolt Action Carbine, #A1252, 10.4x47Rmm, 17.8" barrel, blued finish, hardwood stock, blade front sight and adjustable folding leaf rear sight. Marked on left side barrel shank with a circled "TORINO/1870". Matching number stamped on right side buttstock. Carbine is possibly a cut-down rifle with nose cap attached. Includes a leather sling in good condition. Condition overall is very good with the metal retaining approx. 70% finish, which is now turning brown in places. The sliding sheet metal dustcover shows several dents. Wood has been sanded and oiled over old handling marks, now good with an even color. Action operates smoothly; bore has a few dark areas that may clean better, otherwise bright with good rifling. Est.: $250-$450. (Antique)
