The damage occurred when the rifle fell from a rack, causing cracks in the stock itself and near the stock sling swivel (see the final photos in the listing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wänzl (or Wänzel) rifle was a breech-loading conversion of the Lorenz M1854 and M1862 rifles. It was adopted in 1866—shortly after the Austrian Empire's defeat in the Austro-Prussian War—as an interim measure before a Josef Werndl design was officially approved the following year. A contract was issued for the manufacture of 80,000 units. It is a very rare weapon found today in arms museums and in the collections of true connoisseurs. Mechanically, the weapon is in perfect condition; the firing pin is fully functional (see photo #5).
