Hi All ,
I know this is an post but was going to post a picture of some 11mm Mauser ammo for the Model 71 and 71/84 rifles and thought these would go good together . These are full boxes dated 1879 and 1888 . The other round is for a Steyer .

Beautiful rifle Bill. Thanks for posting.
Bill Grist, what a looker !...the model 71/84 a favourite of mine, very expensive here in the U.K. as they have not been butchered (deactivated), as they are classed as 'obsolete ammuntion' and are allowed to be owned as is, i have a G88,G98, both deacs, and a ' obsolete ammo' M83 Reichsrevolver, i shall obtain a model 71/84 sooner or later !....i see your muzzle protector is marked 'B. 2. R. 8.76, ( Kgl. Bayer. 2. Infanterie-Regt. Kronprinz (München) 8th company, 76th weapon, I Bayer. Armee-Korps ), is the rifle so marked.
Bill, how about showing a photo of the cartouche on the bottum of the stock?
