Devoid of maker's marks, this Karabiner 1888 style carbine bears a number of "crown/gothic letter" proofs on the receiver, "2,5g G.B.P./St.m.G." (2.5 grains military powder with a steel jacketed bullet) on the receiver ring, "crown/N" marked bolt head, and a set of London "crown/GP" and "sword arm/NP" proofs. Serial number "58 is present on right forward receiver ring, bolt handle, and barrel jacket. "326 is on the right rear The full length stock is smooth and straight, cut for a 98k-style sling and fitted with a flat buttplate.

Very fine. The barrel sleeve and magazine show 85% fine blue finish, and the receiver retains 80% plus bright color, both showing mild spotting and handling marks overall, as well as some bright edge wear. The stock is also very fine with scattered dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
