Description:

Fixed blade front and adjustable tangent rear sight graduated to 500 meters. The top of the chamber is marked with the three-line Oberndorf address with a single "crown/crown/U" proof on the left side of the barrel extension. The right side of the frame is marked with the two-line Oberndorf address, and "Germany" on the left. "NS" new safety marked small ring hammer, matching visible partial and full serial numbers. The correct original checkered grips are decorated with "MW" monograms and matching numbers on both internal panels. Includes a matching shoulder stock with attaching iron numbered to the gun, leather harness marked "GERMANY" on the retention strap and wooden handled cleaning rod.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 75% plus of the faded original blue finish with the balance thinned to a smooth grey patina and a small patch of light pitting on the front strap. The grips are also very good with some mild wear, a few scattered light handling marks, and mostly well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent. The stock is also fine with some scattered minor dings and scratches. The harness is very good with some mild wear and a partially separated seam at the bottom.
