Description:
"Serial no. 85665. Manufactured in 1888 at the Amberg Arsenal, chambered in 11mm,24 ½"" round barrel. The bore is bright and shiny with strong, well-defined rifling noted throughout. Serial numbers are matching and the rifle remains in overall very good condition, showing only minimal handling wear. Factory and Imperial acceptance markings remain sharp, crisp, and clearly legible throughout. The buttplate is unit-marked “B.12.R.E.1.191," indicating issue to the Royal Bavarian 12th Infantry Regiment “Prince Arnulf," Ersatz Battalion, 1st Company, weapon number 191. Ersatz units served as wartime replacement formations during WWI and were commonly issued Model 71/84 rifles drawn from storage to equip rear-echelon personnel such as telegraphers and artillerymen, a role that likely explains the shortened barrel configuration encountered on this example. The action is smooth, mechanically sound, and functions correctly.
