Mauser Gewehr Model 71/84 Bolt Action Rifle made at the Spandau Arsenal in
Western Berlin circa 1888.

The Mauser Model 1871 adopted as the Gewehr 71 or Infanterie-Gewehr 71, or
Infantry Rifle 71 was the first rifle model in a line designed and manufactured by Paul
Mauser and Wilhelm Mauser of the Mauser company and later mass-produced, as
was this rifle, at the Spandau Arsenal.

Paul Mauser developed the single shot bolt-action rifle from 1867 to 1871.
The Mauser was provisionally adopted on 2 December 1871, pending the
development of an appropriate safety. With support from the government's Spandau
arsenal, the improvements to the safety mechanism were completed and the rifle
was formally accepted on 14 February 1872 as Infantry Rifle Model 1871 by the
German Empire.

The rifles were issued to the German Army from late 1873 to 1875, with approximately
1.82 million rifles and 80,000–100,000 carbines produced.
After troop trials in 1882 and 1883, the design was updated in 1884 with an 8-round
tubular magazine designed by Alfred von Kropatschek, making this the German
Army's first repeating rifle. This version was designated the Gewehr 1871/84, of
which over a million examples were produced.
