serial #126, 7.5 Swiss, 33 5/8'' fluted octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 96% showing some scattered small areas toning to a mild gray-brown patina under bright light and the barrel with a bit of sparse oxidation along the high edges. The right side of the action shows ''M. BRUNNER / BRUGG'' markings and the rear sight is maker-marked by Alcide Hirschy of Neuchatel. The smooth walnut buttstock and schnabel forend remain in near excellent condition showing a little older added finish, light dings and a neatly executed small repair at the heel. The stock features a generous left-side cheekpiece and shows a small stud mounted on the right side of the butt just behind a German silver banner engraved with no doubt the original owner's information ''KARL KRAUSHAAR / ENNET-BADEN''. The schuetzen buttplate with acorn heel finial is easily adjustable for height via a spring-loaded system. The arm is equipped with double set triggers and sling swivels and is sighted with fully adjustable rear sight featuring four selectable notches and a windage adjustable medium blade post. The rear sight is serial-numbered ''117'' while the barrel is matching the action. The lever locking catch appears to have been deliberately ground down in order to manipulate the lever easier and the action seems to function well mechanically. An interesting Swiss schuetzen rifle in a more modern chambering still popular in the Swiss shooting tradition. (13B11108-156) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1200/1800)
