Severin Signed Game Scene Engraved and Gold Inlaid Mauser 98 Bolt Action Sporting Rifle with Zeiss Scope

Blued steel barrel with a ramped blade front sight, sling stud barrel band, gold inlaid caliber marking, five position (one standing, four folding) rear island sight, commercial German proofs, and engraved front German claw mount on a saddle base. The blued action shows standard proofs and markings, Mauser banner on the front receiver ring, engraved rear claw mount, and gold inlaid and deep relief engraved bolt handle and knob. The action is mounted with a Zeiss Diavari Z 1.5-6x42 T* scope. The scope does not fit securely in the rear mount. The bottom metal and triggerguard are extensively decorated with outstanding scrollwork with gold borders as well as a relief inlaid gold bear on the floorplate and a pair of wild boars on the triggerguard, both cut in very high detail. Signed "Severin" ahead of the floorplate, likely for FN master engraver L. Severin. Nicely figured, multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with horn forend tip and grip cap, rear sling stud, raised cheekpiece, "GB" in the gold inscription oval, and red rubber recoil pad.

ConditionVery fine, retaining 90% plus refinished blue finish and 99% gold finish with an area of rub wear on the underside of the barrel, minor pitting in areas under the surface, and light handling evidence overall. The wood is very good with a few dings and scratches, a repaired crack in the wrist, and a mix of worn and crisp checkering. The scope optics are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
