Receiver finish is a bit light, and there is some finish wear on the trigger plate, but the rest of the blued components are dark. Receiver is P 38 stamped. Produced in 1931 so it was only in service for seven years. Includes muzzle cover and sling. Discreet import engraving.
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.
