Unidentified European Engraved Breechloading Rifle with Carved Stock

Equipped with a tangent rear sight, a dovetail slot on an elevated base towards the muzzle and a sling swivel (broken) on the underside of the barrel. Nickel finished receiver (internally marked with a "W" on front under forearm), lock plate and hammer with elaborate detailed floral engraving. Fitted to the right side of the receiver is the action lever (similar to the Danish Loebnitz system), which operates the Martini-style falling breechblock. Chambered for 6.5mm rimmed cartridge of undetermined origin. Grooved forearm and checkered pistol grip stock, with scroll carvings around the wrist, a raised cheekpiece and a lightly engraved nickel buttplate.

ConditionFine with 60% of the original blue finish showing areas of brown and gray patina, scattered spotting and mild handling marks. 90% of the nickel is present with a small amount of flaking and spotting. Stock is good, repaired at the wrist, with mild scratches and dents. Mechanically excellent.
