Product Information

A very impressive Imperial German Army Gewehr Model 1871/84 bolt action rifle, manufactured by Spandau, dated 1888. Marked on the receiver with the Prussian Crown over "FW" (Frederick Wilhelm, King of Prussia) and Imperial German army acceptance stamps. The model 1871/84 designation signifies that this rifle was upgraded in 1884 with an 8-round tubular magazine within the fore stock that was designed by Alfred Von Kropatschek making this Germany's first repeating rifle. Chambered in a massive 11mm, the imperial German army were still utilising these rifles during the First World War and were seen in use as "latch ditched" weapons during the latter stages of WWII. The wood work looks amazing and bears many scares and blemishes only seen a rifle of this age.

Chambered in an obsolete calibre this rifle can be owned live without any form of license.

This rifle is being sold as antique collectors item only.
