Engraved Mauser Model 98 Bolt Action Rifle with Scope

This beautiful custom rifle features a Mauser 98 action and a J.P. Sauer & Sohn barrel. The action, breech end of the barrel, trigger guard, floor plate and attaching iron are very nicely engraved with a fine English scroll design. The barrel is fitted with a ramped blade front sight and a three leaf (two folding, one fixed) rear sight with "100", "200" and "300" yard markings on the solid matte rib, The upper right rear barrel flat is marked "J.P. SAUER & SOHN, SUHL", the upper left rear flat is marked ""FRIED. KRUPP, intertwined circles logo over NIROSTA A.G. ESSEN" and the top of the rib is marked "88/8. S." in an oval panel. The left side of the action is marked with a "crown/B" and "crown/U" proof mark over the serial number and the left side receiver wall is marked "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER - OBERNDORF A/N". Blue finish, jeweled bolt and extractor with case colored bolt handle, double set triggers and mounted with a one piece pistol grip stock with fine checkering and floral carving, horn grip cap and checkered horn buttplate. Equipped with a Zeiss scope with leather lens caps. Also comes with an unmarked brown leather scope case with shoulder strap.

ConditionVery good as professionally refinished and embellished with 98% blue finish remaining with three very small areas of finish loss on the forward right side of the barrel and some very light spotting on the barrel and some mild thinning on the floor plate. The receiver has a copper hue and 99% of the case coloring remains on the bolt handle. The stock is also very good with some minor dings, dents and scratches. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. The action is excellent. The scope is good with some minor wear, light spotting and hazy optics. The scope case is good with some wear, scuffs and staining. The loops on the lid for the securing strap are absent and some of the stitching on the securing strap are loose, otherwise the stitching is tight.
