Engraved Aydt Single Shot Schuetzen Rifle

No maker's marks are visible. Fitted with a protected ramp wire bead front sight, a quarter rib on the top of the barrel, and a standard Aydt tang sight on the upper tang. The frame is engraved with punch dot backed floral designs on each side, dotted checkerboards on the upper flat, a serpent designs among the floral engraving on the right, and "crown/ B" and "crown/ U" proofs on the frame and block. Aydt-style action, with finger rest action lever and double set triggers. Smooth forearm and checkered straight wrist stock with carved scroll designs, heavy raised Tyrolean style cheekpiece and a steel butt. Notes from the consignor state that this rifle was captured by his father, a soldier with the 78th Infantry Division, between 7-10 March 1945, during the unit's push to the Rhine River.

ConditionGood, with a brown patina mixed with original blue on the barrel, along with some bright edge wear and spotting. Case colors on the frame are very good, with some mild fading, and a mixed yellow patina on the extractor hardware. Stock is very fine, with mild pressure dents and scratches.
