Deactivated Italian Model 1870/87/15 Vetterli Vitali Bolt Action Rifle, #EB8639, 6.5x52mm cal., 34'' barrel, blued finish, blade front sight and adjustable leaf rear sight. Marked on barrel ''TORINO 1892''. Includes cleaning rod. Mismatched number on buttstock. Rifle cannot be shot. Chamber has been plugged by welding breech end closed so cartridge cannot be chambered. Overall condition is good with approx. 70% of the reblued finish remaining on the metal, with areas of rust and patina across the action and buttplate. Butt has a through crack across the toe, otherwise the wood is good with mostly old handling marks. Action is smooth, bore is unusable. No visible import marks. Est.: $150-$250. (Antique)
