Inscribed German Zimmerstutzen Rifle by C. Leberecht of Amberg

These rifles used in shooting parlors in the late 1800s and early 1900s and are designed like the longer range Schuetzen rifles. The top of the barrel has the maker's mark, the upper right flat has "Ehrengabe gestiftet von der Eisenverk=Gesellschaft,/Maximilianshutte Rosenberg", and the upper right flat has "Zum 30 jahigen Jubilaums = Sohiefsen/der Zimmerstutzen =Schutzen = Gesellsch. Rosenberg." The inscription indicates a presentation by a steel company to celebrate the thirty year anniversary of the Zimmerstutzen shooters association in Rosenberg. The rifle has adjustable target sights (rear sight key included), double set triggers, and a Tyrolean style stock with hooked buttplate, checkering, and thumb rest with a 4 mm cartridge loading spoon.

ConditionVery good with 70% original blue finish on the barrel and 50% of the original case colors on the remaining metal components. There is a small casting void on the front of the trigger guard, gray patina on the faded areas, and some light spotting scattered throughout. The stock is very good with crisp checkering, a few small dings and chips along the barrel channel, minor hairline cracks on each side of the forend, and scattered marks and scratches. The markings are crisp, and it is mechanically fine.
