A) Mauser Model 1871 Rifle

Blade front and three-leaf folding ladder rear sights, the left side of the receiver marked "G. Mod.71." and the right stamped "1876" (the 6 appearing restamped), with a number of "crown/gothic letter" proofs overall, the Oberndorf address on the top barrel flat, and a "crown/W" on the top left. The smooth stock is fitted with a metal pistol grip, a leather sling, and a mismatched number replacement flat steel buttplate marked "13.A.L.4.117." on the heel. (Many of the screws are also mismatched numbers).

ConditionVery good as assembled. The barrel is showing a well aged plum/brown patina, with a mixed brown and gray on the receiver, bolt and barrel bands, with some mild spotting and handling marks overall. The stock shows a number of dents, scuffs and scratches, though no visible cracking or significant chips, and the sling is supple with a small amount of cracking and verdigris. Mechanically very good.
