This set of rifle, sling and bayonet came together, and was about the be scrapped (as usual😑). It's not in terrible condition, but definitely deserves some care.

It is a Mannlicher M95 in its original configuration (8x50R caliber), made in 1915, meaning it survived both WWI and WWII.

Being a WWI-era weapon, with genuine wear on it, I used a very conservative approach, trying to keep things as original as possible while getting it back in shape.
