The Jägergewehr 1856/59 (English: Jäger rifle 1856/59) originally designed in 1853 was intended to be a service rifle for use by the Swiss armed forces. It was one of the first pure infantry weapons to feature a rifled barrel. However by the time all 14000 procured weapons were delivered in 1860 they were already perceived as obsolete and were never issued to the troops.
