Description:

Information provided by the consignor suggests that this rifle was originally produced in the 1930's, then brought to the States as a trophy by a WWII veteran. Ramp blade front and two leaf rear sights on the barrel, which has a blank oval panel on the rib, caliber, serial number, "KRUPP-LAUFSTAHL" and proof marks on the left, and "AUGUST SCHULER/ SUHL" at the breech. Receiver has been engraved with scroll and border patterns, with a pair of quick release claw mounts, double set triggers and a checkered "butter knife" style bolt handle numbered to the gun. Fitted with an "AJACK" scope, with matching sight-through rings, numbered "20722". Checkered pistol grip stock with horn forearm tip and gripcap, sling swivels, raised cheekpiece, and a serrated buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good as custom, with 90% of the original blue finish, showing a few very small areas of pitting , bright wear along the high edges and at the muzzle, and scattered light spotting and handling marks. The scope has heavier pitting, concentrated at the front, with hazy optics. Stock is very good as repaired, with some dark spots on the forearm, areas of fill at the toe of the butt, moderate pressure dents and scratches, and varnish loss. Action is excellent.
