Antique Shortened Dutch M1871/88 Beaumont-Vitali Bolt Action Rifle, #NVSN, 11x52Rmm cal., 20.5" barrel, blued finish, hardwood stock, dovetailed blade front sight, and adjustable rear sight with "V"-notched groove, graduated to 700 meters. Tip of the steel cleaning rod is broken off. Left side of the receiver is marked "P.STEVENS/MAASTRICHT", with inspection marks and dated "1874" on the barrel shank. There are no markings on the buttstock. Matching part numbers (Z442) on the receiver and bolt assembly. Condition overall is good. Metal shows general thinning and brown toning. Except the barrel, which retains much of the blued finish. Wood is good, showing applied varnish, handling marks, and scratches. Action operates smoothly. There is an area of fouling at the chamber that may clean better, otherwise the bore rates good with defined rifling. Rifle was possibly shortened by the Dutch military for use in the East Indies. Est.: $300-$500. (Antique)
