Description:

Manufactured by Otto Lang of Schweinfurt in Northern Bavaria. Lang was well known in Bavaria as a maker and retailer of fine shotguns, hunting rifles, and target rifles. The heavy octagon barrel is fitted with a globe style front sight with a grooved matted half rib. The upper tang is fitted with an adjustable large diopter peep sight. The barrel is marked "OTTO LANG SCHWEINFURT" on the top flat in silver inlay and has to silver inlaid bands at the breech. The receiver is casehardened with broad German floral scroll engraving on the sides, top, breechblock, upper tang, and action lever. Fitted with double set triggers. The lever is contoured to act as a finger rest, and the trigger group is hand removable via a lever to the rear of the action lever. Mounted with a carved forearm and finely checkered and carved Tyrolean style buttstock with a casehardened and engraved schuetzen style buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 70% of the faded blue finish on the barrel. Showing some areas of blue aging to a light gray on the bottom flat, light freckling, sharp edges on the half rib, a darkened patina on the silver inlay, and very clear proofs on bottom flat under the wood. The receiver shows 50% plus of the original muted case colors with some areas aged to a smooth gray patina with some light dings, handling marks and light freckling. The buttstock is fine with smoothing of the otherwise very good forearm carvings, scattered gouges and indentations, and general handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
