Manufactured on a DWM Model 1909 Mauser action by H.L. Grisel a founding member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild, and founder of Dakota Arms. Manufactured without sights, with "H.L. GRISEL GUNMAKER/BEND ORE" marked on the barrel. The receiver has the original DWM maker and model markings on the left side with Buehler scope bases and rings, Leupold 2x7 VARI-X I scope, polished bolt with knurled handle, and hinged floor plate. Highly figured checkered pistol grip stock with engraved steel grip cap, raised cheekpiece, and checkered steel buttplate.

Very fine as assembled and refinished by Master Gunsmith H.L. Grisel. 99% of the blue finish remains with some light handling marks mostly on the bolt and trigger guard. The wood is also very fine with attractive dark figure, some small scratches, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with clear optics.
