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 "1886." on the right. With matching serial numbers on the barrel and bolt, along with matching "78" partials on smaller parts. Fitted with a smooth straight grip stock with Gothic military crown stampings on the butt and a flat buttplate regimentally marked "3.G.G.R./R.298." on the tang. Includes a bayonet and blued steel scabbard.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retaining 85% plus original blue finish with minor edge wear, handling marks, thinning, spotting, and smooth brown patina mostly on the bright components. Stock is excellent with deep, crisp proofs, attractive fiddle-back pattern grain, and minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
