Description:
1870 Dated Antique AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN M1867 WERNDL-HOLUB 11mm MILITARY Rifle

Single Shot BREECHLOADING Infantry Rifle

Here we present an antique Austrian Model 1867 Werndl-Holub Single Shot Military Rifle made in 1870 in Steyr, Austria by Josef and Franz Werndl & Company with a production run between 1867 and 1888. Josef Werndl was a famous Austrian arms producer and inventor. His most famous rifle design was this M1867 Werndl-Holub. He also owned the Steyr-Mannlicher from 1855.

The Model 1867 Werndl–Holub was a single-shot breechloading rifle adopted by the Austro-Hungarian army on July 28, 1867. It replaced the Wänzl breechloader conversion of the muzzle-loading Lorenz rifle. Josef Werndl and Karel Holub designed and patented their rifle. Werndl later bought out all the rights but was involved in name only. ÖWG (Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft) took over production of the Werndl Rifle in 1869 and chambered it for the 11mm scharfe Patrone M.67 cartridge. In 1877, the military rechambered the 1877 Variant of the Werndl for the bottleneck 11mm scharfe Patrone M.77 cartridge.
