The barrel is mated to a beautifully casehardened Mauser type action which displays exceptional near full coverage floral scroll engraving, matching engraving on the bolt, extended upper tang, and bolt knob which has a knurled handle, niter blue ejector, import mark on the rail, and a pair of blued quick detach scope mounts holding a Zeiss Diavari-Z 1.25-4x24mm T* scope. The bottom metal, lower tang, floorplate, and triggerguard are also casehardened and show matching scroll engraving along with the recoil lug. The rifle is mounted in a gorgeous highly figured and multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with ebony forend tip, engraved and casehardened trap door grip cap, shadowline cheekpiece, blank gold inscription oval, rear sling stud, and leather wrapped recoil pad. Includes a canvas and leather sling. Provenance: The Harro Kniffka Collection, esteemed European collector of fine sporting guns and rifles and Founder of Hanseatic Lloyd Schiffahrt
