Bolt matching serial number. Magazine matching serial number. The non-matching serial number stock is very clean with few handling marks; only notable mark is on the right side at the toe, below the Swiss military acceptance mark. Both finger grooves on the stock are sharp so it is unlikely that this stock was sanded and refinished. Handguard is also very clean with few handling marks.

Finish on both barrel bands are very dark. Front sight has some light edge wear on the top of the sight wings. Charging handle knob has some handling wear. Receiver is P38 stamped, meaning this K11 Carbine was only in military service for 17 years. Soldier's tag found under butt plate. Includes muzzle cover and leather sling. C&R Eligible.

The Karabiner Model 1911 (K11) is the shorter, lighter, carbine model of the Swiss 1911 rifle. It is a magazine fed, straight pull, bolt action rifle chambered in 7.5x55mm Swiss Gewehrpatrone 1911 (GP11). Though the 1911 rifle ceased production in 1919, the K11 was produced through 1933 as the Swiss military realized the benefit of outfitting their service members with shorter, lighter, carbines.
