Manufactured in 1898. Blade front and 1000-meter tangent rear sights, with the three line Mauser marking on the top of the chamber area, "crown/crown/U" and "antler" proofs on the sides, and "VON LENGERKE/& DETMOLD/NEW-YORK" marked on the left side of the frame. Von Lengerke & Detmold were New York importers and dealers active in the early 20th century and were a prominent early pathway of the then-cutting edge Mauser Broomhandle onto the American sporting market. Matching external numbers on the hammer, frame, magazine follower, floorplate, and the interior of the 23-groove grips. A further matching number is present on the mounting iron of the included Broomhandle shoulder stock, which is otherwise unmarked.

Very good, with 30% of the original blue finish, showing mild spotting, areas of brown patina, bright edge wear and light handling marks. A triangle of white paint has been applied to the front sight. The grips and stock are both very good, with numerous scattered mild dents and scuffs overall, and the stock showing some cracking by the mouth. Mechanically excellent.
