On the right side of the stock there are multiple light pressure marks and several scratches rear of the grip. There are a pair of small, light pressure marks below the bolt release lever and a pair of pressure marks below and to the left of the finger groove.

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.
