WAFFENFABRIK BERN M.81 (Vetterli ??) What is it??

[Gaijin]

One downside to this particular rifle though... the bayonet is probably going to cost me more than I paid for the entire rifle!
Of course I need a 1878, 1881, or 1887 Vetterli sawback bayonet. Massive things. Overall length was just over 23½" long (blade was about 19" long).

Speaking of the rifle though... The more I clean it up, the better I like it. The gem under all of the dirt.

I very much like the idea of finding a spare bolt to convert. I have been watching for one, but so far they are rather elusive.
