Description:
IMPERIAL GERMAN Antique SPANDAU ARSENAL M71/84 11x60mmR Bolt Action Rifle 

REGIMENTAL MARKED MAUSER Pattern MILITARY RIFLE

Here we present an antique Regimental Marked Imperial German Mauser Pattern Gewehr Model 71/84 Bolt Action Rifle made at the Spandau Arsenal in Western Berlin circa 1887. The Mauser Model 1871 adopted as the Gewehr 71 or Infanterie-Gewehr 71, or Infantry Rifle 71, was the first rifle model in a line designed and manufactured by Paul Mauser and Wilhelm Mauser of the Mauser company and later mass-produced, as was this rifle, at the Spandau Arsenal.

Paul Mauser developed the single shot bolt-action rifle from 1867 to 1871. The Mauser was provisionally adopted on December 2, 1871, pending the development of an appropriate safety. With support from the government's Spandau Arsenal, the improvements to the safety mechanism were completed and the rifle was formally accepted on February 14, 1872, as Infantry Rifle Model 1871 by the German Empire. The rifles were issued to the German Army from late 1873 to 1875, with approximately 1.82 million rifles and 80,000–100,000 carbines produced. After troop trials in 1882 and 1883, the design was updated in 1884 with an 8-round tubular magazine designed by Alfred von Kropatschek, making this the German Army's first repeating rifle. This version was designated the Gewehr 1871/84, of which over a million examples were produced. Quantities of M1871s and M71/84s were even utilized by rear echelons during the early days of WWI.

The overall condition is very good. Original finish and patina. The action is excellent. The bore is reflective with sharp rifling. The stock shows use and remains solid throughout. There are inspection markings throughout. The numbers match on the receiver and all small parts with the exception of the bolt. The rearmost barrel band also matches but long ago was installed backward.
