AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN M1867 Werndl-Holub Infantry Rifle
UNIQUE Rotating Breech Block Rifle Dated “1873”
Here we present an antique M1867 Werndl-Holub Breech Loading Infantry Rifle, made in 1873 by Österreichische Waffenfabriks-Gesellschaft, Steyr, Austria. This single-shot breechloading rifle was adopted by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1867 after a close trial with the ubiquitous Remington Rolling Block Rifle. When it came time to choose, Emperor Franz Joseph selected the Austrian Werndl-Holub. It replaced the Wanzl breechloader conversion of the muzzle-loading Lorenz rifle. Josef Werndl and Karel Holub designed and patented this rifle with Werndl eventually buying out Holub. The feature that makes this rifle especially unique is the rotating breech block.
This specimen is unit marked on the top of the butt plate “34. LW./1511.” The top of the barrel is marked “Wn. 73 St. 81” and the chamber “OE/WG”. The left side of the stock is carved in large block letters “LEX. H.S.”
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces have a smooth, dark patina. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is sharp and bright. The stock is in good condition with nice grain. The action on this rifle is excellent.
