Engraved Original System Aydt Schuetzen Rifle

The action is engraved with traditional Germanic leaf patterns surrounding a marksman in traditional attire with a sword, rifle, and target on the right side and a seen of a soldier with rifle, cuirass, and helmet on the left side. The trigger guard has the face of a "green man" or "wild man" from European folklore among the leaf patterns. The breechblock is marked "D.R.G.M./No.=270175" on the left, and the barrel is numbered "17001" and has "F.&A. PRUTSCHER" inlaid on the upper right flat and "KEMPTEN" on the upper left flat. "Eagle" and "crown/B" proofs are on the right side of the action and breechblock. It is equipped with a blade front sight on a textured ramp, a removable and adjustable leaf rear sight on the textured quarter rib, an integral peep sight base on the upper tang, double set triggers, a checkered Schnabel tip forearm, and Tyrolean buttstock with multi-point checkering, a single hook buttplate, and a thumb rest. A Weaver sight base is included, and the upper action flat has been tapped for mounting it.

ConditionVery good. The barrel has 80% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina and some light spotting/minor pitting. The receiver, trigger guard/lever, buttplate and breechblock retain some flashes of faded case colors mixed with a smooth gray patina and some pin point pitting (most notable on the lower tang). The wood is excellent with some minor scratches and some scattered mild bruising in the overall crisp checkering. The tip of the forearm is dented. The attractive folksy engraving remains crisp. Mechanically excellent.
