another remarkable Haenel 1909 coming from austria, 7x64 caliber
https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=14509896 with Tambour griff safety, patentet in austria in 1906
scope on vienna snap mount with an old WW 1 unit marking

Lancaster
would the unit marking mean this rifle was potentially used in WW1 as a sniper rifle, or was the scope used in WW1 & put on this rifle at a later date?
Unusual safety but it would certainly be effective.
Marvellous piece of kit here mate, in a cracking calibre too!
I'm not normally a MS man, but ones like this certainly would convert me
