I FOUND A JOHANN PETERLONGO MAUSER SAFARI RIFLE IN 11.2x72 CALIBER
I had been searching for a very long time for a Big Bore rifle that was built in my birth Country of Austria.
Well, I just added this one to my collection. It looks unfired in 99% original condition. It was brought to the U.S. from Austria by the family's grandfather - and likely never fired because there was no ammo available in this Country.
Please feel free to comment. You can see the photos below with all the markings I'm still smiling from ear to ear.

Odd calibres like the 10.75 and 11.2x72
