The present Stutzer (firearm number 296470) was developed from a Modell 1896/11 Infantry Rifle. The original weapon was privatized in 1937 and rebuilt some time after that. The stock was replaced by a match stock with grip hole, the barrel by a thick match barrel. A diopter (Lyman Series 48) was mounted, the trigger was modified (so that it is very smooth running) and the safety ring was removed. The magazine of this gun is from a private Modell 1911 Infantry Rifle and bears the number 7512. Fritz Kuchen is known to have made other such Stutzer in caliber Gewehr Patrone 11 (7.5mm GP11) and also Stutzer in caliber .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR); the initial base models were Modell 1896/11 Infantry Rifle and Modell 1911 Infantry Rifle. Fritz Kuchen had the modifications patented; these are listed in patent no. CH 198753 (Attachement).
