Blued bolt-action with a 23" barrel, a wood American Classic stock, a scope, sling and recoil pad. LOP is 13-1/2". Bluing has faded to grey with freckles of surface rust and light pitting. Receiver was made at Danzig arsenal in 1915. Numbers on bottom metal and floorplate don't match the receiver number but the floorplate is hinged. Bore is pristine with strong rifling. Crown is military round crown and has a little pitting. Low scope safety appears to have been handmade. Bolt body, follower and extractor are jewelled. Stock is a dark stained hardwood with lots of fiddleback in the butt. Carved wood and checkered panels on the wrist and forend and the checkering is still sharp. There is a shadow line under the cheek rest. There are two notable dings, one near the bottom metal and one near the forend cap. Other marks are small scratches and dings. Forend cap, grip cap and recoil pad all have white line spacers. Recoil pad spacer is larger than the stock. Grip and forend caps are smaller than the stock. Scope is marked "Germany" only. There are no maker or power markings. Rear scope mount is cantilevered off the right side of the receiver bridge and has a knob to adjust windage. There is an adjustment for elevation on top of the tube. The reticle is a 3-post type. Power is about 2X. QD sling swivels. Action works well. Condition is very good. *Modern Firearm*
