We just received a small quantity of original Italian Vetterli Model 1870/87/15 rifles. All rifles are converted for the Carcano 6.5 ammunition. These rifles do not have the rear sight base. These rifles may or may not come with a front sight blade. This modification was probably done by cavalry units in Ethiopia.
The condition is poor to fair overall condition. These rifles have been in storage in Ethiopia for a century. They will have some surface corrosion, surface rust, wear on the metal and dings, dents, scratches, etc. in the wood. These rifles may have cracks in the stock and pitting. Stocks may be completely cracked through near the receiver and/or wrist. May have large chunks of wood missing. May be missing some parts such as a front and rear sight, sling swivel, barrel band, buttplate, etc. The rifles may or may not come with a cleaning rod. Bores range from poor to good. The rifle bolt may be difficult to open and require further cleaning to be 100% functional. Please note that the sear spring may be broken and the bolt may not stay cocked.
