Description:

An evolution of the single shot Mauser 1871 infantry rifle, the 71/84 integrates an under-barrel tube magazine and represents an important developmental step towards the Gewehr 98. Features dovetailed blade front and notched three-leaf folding ladder sights, with the barrel marked "crown/F.W.", "crown/SPANDAU" and with Gothic military crown proofs on the chamber flats, and the receiver marked "I.G. Mod. 71/84" on the left and "1888." on the right. Matching visible serial numbers on the barrel and bolt, along with matching "92" partials on some smaller parts. Fitted with a smooth straight grip stock with Gothic military crown stampings on the butt of the stock. Fitted with a modern leather sling.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus, retains 98% original blue finish on the barrel, barrel bands and trigger guard, with the in-the-white components retaining their attractive original bright surfaces, with a few light handling marks, and sharp markings and edges in the metal overall. Stock is also excellent with distinct edges, a few light handling marks, and exceptionally crisp stampings. Mechanically excellent. This outstanding Imperial German Spandau Mauser Model 71/84 rifle would be nearly impossible to improve upon!
