The nitro proofed barrel is marked "W. EBLEN" and "STUTTGART." The rifle is equipped with a shrouded pin front sight mounted on a casehardened ramp base, the top barrel flat is matted, and there is a provision for a tang sight (not provided). The action has double set triggers and a checkered hard rubber spur insert embossed "DRGM BUCHEL". The top of the receiver behind the breechblock is marked "BUCHEL/ORIGINAL/MEISTER." The breechblock has a dot and line border, cross hatching on the top and "Crown/B/U" proofs on the right side. Additional engraved cross hatching is found on the receiver ring and breech block. The receiver has a near full coverage semi-relief oak leaf engraved pattern on a matte background which surrounds socializing schutzen scenes on the sides. The oak leaf pattern is extended to the trigger guard and buttplate. Sling swivels are attached to the underside of the barrel and buttstock. The barrel is blue and the remaining surfaces are casehardened. The nicely figured wood features checkering and high relief carved floral patterns with the additions of a carved dog head with glass eyes for a forearm tip and carved schutzen woodland scene on the left side of the buttstock. The engraving and wood carving display the skill sets of master artisans. The buttstock is fitted with a hooked buttplate.

The remaining metal surfaces is poorly fitted on the left side surfaces retain 80% of the case colors. The wood is good with a cracked wrist, chipping on the thumb rest and some minor handling marks. The barrel is not completely attached to the receiver and a screw is missing on the forearm hardware.
