Hello everybody. I have a german Mauser M71 Jaeger rifle in 11 mm cal. The rifle was manufactured by Osterreichische Waffenfabriks Gesellschaft , Steyr in 1875 as indicated by marking on the receiver. The rifle has matching serial numbers.
The octogonal part of the barrel displays an abbreviated name of the arsenal "OSTERR. WAFFFB. GES.". Left side of the barrel displays Prussian crown over "FW" (Frederick Wilhelm, King of Prussia). The buttplate tang displays imperial german military acceptance mark, "crown over gothic D" and imperial german regimental markings " AM IV 6.11." The german proofs on the stock are still visible.
Condition is low fine.
Any info on the value will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
