    WTS: 2 1881 Swiss Vetterli Rifles For Sale or Trade

    The attached photos are of the 2 model 1881 Swiss Vetterli's I have and don't need. The top one has a rproduction rod in it.
    Both are rim fires and have had no modifications at all.
    I also have some brass and loading dies that I'll include.

    I'm looking to trade for a Brown Bess, Hawken or Civil War original or reproduction weapons.

    Top one $550 + Shipping Cost
    Bottom one $450 + Shipping Cost

    If interested in one or both, just make me a offer.

    Note: Both of these rifles, based on their serial numbers, were made in 1887

    If someone has a flintlock, similar to the one in the photo below, maybe we can work out a trade.

    Those are nice looking rifles.

    Years ago, I saw several of these turned into lamps!
