For those of you who like things that go 'Bangedy, bang' instead of or in addition to things that go 'Stabitty, stab', cast your eyes at: http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?542793-On-occasion-miracles-do-happen!-With-the-help-of-a-fellow-Member!  post no.3 ff., on this very rare beastie of a rifle issued in extremis to some of the Württemberg army in the GW, and where it is shown alongside an almost equally rare  Turkish Issue M1887 Mauser Infantry Rifle

2 superb rifles and a great outcome to an incredible fifteen year saga.
