Description

Serial # 127792. .41 Swiss RF caliber bolt action rifle with a 33” barrel. The bore is poor with heavy rust. The metal finish on the barrel, receiver, trigger guard and butt plate is a rusty brown patina. The checkered walnut forearm and the plain butt stock are in good condition showing scattered light dings and scratches along with finish wear. The barrel bands are a rusty brown patina. The action seems to work fine. The cleaning rod is missing.
