95, also known to collectors as the Dutch Mannlicher, was the service rifle of the Armed forces of the Netherlands between 18 which replaced the obsolete Beaumont-Vitali M1871/88. The stock does not have any major damage, though there is a repair on the right butt stock. The bore shows clear lands and grooves, though it does have fouling in the grooves.Ī very nice Dutch service rifle that probably saw long service in the Dutch Colonies. The metalwork overall has a worn gray patina with light peppering, from decades of service and storage. Rifle is in very good used condition, with a solid stock and metalwork. This rifle was manufactured by the Steyr Mannlicher firearms division of Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft (ŒWG, Austrian Arms-Manufacturing Company) in Austria. The right side of the receiver is simply marked STEYR 1898, with no other markings present on the receiver. Due to the large amount of wear on the rifle, it's very possible that it saw colonial service. It was still in service in some areas until at least 1955, especially by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army ( Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger or KNIL).
This is a nice example of the Dutch Geweer M.95 Mannlicher Infantry Service rifle, which was the standard Dutch long rifle from 1895 and through WWI.
