Engraved Paul Jaeger Custom Mauser Model 98 Bolt Action Rifle

The barrel is marked "PAUL JAEGER -JENKINTOWN PA" on top and "6MM REM." on the left at the breech. "MOD 98" is marked on the left side of the receiver, and "1888" is marked in the upper tang recess. The receiver, tail piece, handle upper tang, grip cap, trigger guard, and floor plate all feature Germanic leaf engraving likely executed by master engraver Claus Willig with silver wire borders and a bear baring its teeth is plated in silver on the floor plate. The bolt knob is checkered, and the bolt, bolt release, and follower are jeweled. The rifle comes without fixed sight, and the receiver has empty taps for scope mounting. The rifle is mounted on a Monte Carlo stock with rosewood forend cap, swivel studs, and a checkered steel buttplate.

ConditionVery fine as professionally built and engraved. The rifle retain more than 98% of the blue and nearly all of the silver inlay/plating with only a few minor handling marks, some spots of silver absent on the bear, and areas of patina on the inlaid borders. The stock is also very fine with only a few slight, scattered pressure marks. The action is excellent, and the markings and engraving patterns are crisp.
