Original Austro-Hungarian Model 1867 Werndl–Holub 11.15mm Rotary Breech Parade Rifle - Dated 1871 Royal Air Force the nose cap and upperOriginal Item: Only One Available. The M1867 Werndl Holub was a single shot breech loading rifle that the Austro Hungarian army adopted in 1867. It replaced the Wanzl breech loader conversion of the muzzle loading Lorenz rifle.

This very interesting example looks to have seen long service, and then was set up as a "Parade"
