Incredibly Rare and Historic World War I Artifact from the George Moller Collection
CONDITION: The rifle is in very fine condition, showing 70% original blue finish, with areas of brown patina, bright edge wear and mild handling marks. A thin crack is present on top of the wrist just behind the receiver, with the balance of the stock fine with scattered light scuffs and dents. The trench device is extremely fine overall and shows some mild wear and handling marks overall, with some scuffing and cracking of the leather strap at the buttstock. The bolt arm binds up a bit on the return; otherwise, the set is mechanically very good. Provenance: The George Moller Collection.
Estimate: 9,500 - 16,000
