Antique AUSTRIAN Model 1877 WERNDL-HOLUB 11mm Single Shot MILITARY Rifle
1870s-80s AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN Infantry Rifle
Description: Antique AUSTRIAN Model 1877 WERNDL-HOLUB 11mm Single Shot MILITARY Rifle 1870s-80s AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN Infantry Rifle Here we present an antique Austrian Model 1877 Werndl-Holub Single Shot Military Rifle made by Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft circa 1881 in Steyr, Austria, owned by Josef and Franz Werndl & Company with a production run between 1878 and 1885. Josef Werndl was a famous Austrian arms producer and inventor. His most famous rifle design was this Model 1867 Werndl-Holub, which was the predecessor to this rifle. He also owned the Steyr-Mannlicher from 1855. There was a total of 300,000 of these single shot breech loaders manufactured that utilized a rotary block breech with an external hammer. 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 on this rifle, the military rechambered the 1877 Variant of the Werndl for the bottleneck 11mm scharfe Patrone M.77 cartridge. In 1867, the army ordered 611,000 of the new Model 1867 rifles. By November 1870, only 316,650 Werndl breechloaders had been produced and the army still needed an additional 302,810 rifles to fulfill the needs of the regular troops, without taking into account the demands of the Imperial-Royal Landwehr and the Royal Hungarian Honvéd. The overall condition is good. Original finish/patina. The action is excellent. The bore is clean with strong, deep rifling. The stock has been repaired throughout, including filler and refinished so that it is quite solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 33-1/4 inches.
