SARGE Posted March 5, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2022 Yes, a nice looking old relic Austro-Hungarian carbine. Made by OEWG and proof marked in 1871 (Wn.71). Also made in 1871 according to the "871" markings on the side plate. I rather like these old uncleaned and un-messed with relics that show their age.

Garandrew Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted March 5, 2022 Thanks my sister wants to sell it any idea on value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted March 6, 2022 Share #4 Posted March 6, 2022 I don't have a good handle on the value of these rifles in "as found" condition but it is higher than one that has been "cleaned" prior to sale IMHO. Look on gun auction sites such as gunbroker for finished auctions and see what they actually bring... not their asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
