This German schuetzen rifle is marked "PISTOR & KOST, SCHMALKALDEN" on the top barrel flat, "GUSS-STAHL-ESSEN" on the upper right and upper left barrel flats, and "-Krupp-Essen" and circled "RW" on the left flat. The top of the action is inlaid with "D.R.G.M. No. 919406". It has matching serial numbers throughout. The barrel has "1,5 m/m" over "2.27" over "494". German proofs are on the right side of the frame and breechblock and the underside of the barrel. The rifle is equipped with a ramped and winged post front sight, has a flanged upper tang near the breech for rear sight mounting, and has a peep sight post in the corresponding mount on the action (aperture absent). The Schnabel tip forearm is smooth. The checkered buttstock has a large Tyrolean style cheek rest, thumb rest, and curved Schuetzen style buttplate.

Very good as professionally partially refinished. The rifle retains 95% of the blue finish and 90% of the case colors with spots of oxidation and varnish, light spotting, and minor edge wear. The wood is very good with a chip on the buttstock at the junction with the frame on the right and some minor dings, chips, and scratches. Mechanically needs work; the lever will not lock.
