Militaria
Vetterli rifle m/1869 with bayonet. This specimen was part of the cargo of the gunship s/s John Grafton when it arrived in the fall of 1905 in front of Pietarsaari, where it had to be blown up after running aground. The rest of the weapon cargo was lifted from the wreck during the fall, which is why the rifle has visible water damage on the stock and metal parts. The lock is armed and released. A rare bayonet is included in the weapon. License free.
