BASICS:

A Pristine Piece of Swiss Military Heritage.

This is the rifle every collector dreams of finding. Built at the legendary Waffenfabrik Bern in 1917, then officially arsenal refurbished in 1926, this Swiss G11 represents the very peak of early 20th-century European military rifle craft. And it shows — in every detail. Excellent condition throughout. The rifle speaks for itself: all numbers match perfectly across the barrel, receiver, bolt, and magazine. No parts swaps. No guesswork. Just an untouched, honest rifle that’s been treasured rather than beaten up. The finish retains its factory character with appropriate patina consistent with age and storage; the wood is clean, straight, and free of cracks, splits, or repairs — exactly what museums look for when accessioning a specimen of this caliber. The action is buttery smooth. Cycle the bolt and you’ll feel why Swiss rifles are legendary among shooters and collectors alike. Over a century old, and it moves like it came out of the factory yesterday. The straight-pull mechanism engages with satisfying precision, and the trigger breaks clean and predictable — hallmarks of Bern’s uncompromising engineering standards. In professional arms collecting and curation, numbers matching is everything. This example presents with serials matching across: Barrel shank, Receiver, Bolt, and Magazine.

Specifications:

This level of original integrity is what separates a common rifle from a collectible artifact. It tells the story of a rifle that stayed together, stayed in service, and was never cannibalized or reassembled. Historical significance. The G11 Model 1911 was the primary service rifle of the Swiss military for decades — a statement about Swiss precision, reliability, and the nation’s exacting standards. The 1917 manufacture date places this squarely in the peak production years, when Waffenfabrik Bern was running at full capacity. The arsenal refurbishment the same year indicates this rifle saw use and was deemed worthy of military investment — only the best examples made it through that process.
