So I recently acquired this rifle from a family member, and after looking at every possible picture of WW1 rifles, The closest I'm finding is the M1870 Italian Vetteri. But not really the same. Best way I can check the bore is with a set of calipers at .430. It have very little markings on it but is dated 1885. The stock has a very faint circle about 1.5" in diameter with a large W and 1885. Bore has minor pitting, bolt action is smooth. Not sure if I'm interested in firing it or not, but it would be nice to have basic history. I appreciate any assistance!
