Lot 55:
Vetterli-Vitoli Model 1881 7.5mm Rifle
Description
Vetterli-Vitoli Model 1881 bolt-action repeating rifle chambered in 7.5mm. Features a 33.75-inch barrel and an overall length of approximately 53 inches. The rifle exhibits a wood stock with metal bands and a full-length handguard. Standard iron sights are present, and various stamps and markings, including “AD 1820” and other proofs, are visible on the receiver. The rifle’s design reflects classic Swiss engineering, indicative of late 19th-century military rifles.
CONDITION: The rifle shows significant surface wear, with a patina and evidence of rust across the metal surfaces. The wood stock displays numerous scratches, dings, and signs of age but remains structurally intact. The action cycles but demonstrates resistance, suggesting it may need maintenance. Certain small parts exhibit corrosion, and the bore condition is indeterminate due to image constraints. Overall, this firearm is best suited for restoration or collection purposes.
