serial #4532p, 8mm Mauser, 24” barrel with an about excellent bore exhibiting strong rifling throughout. The action surfaces of this 1942-dated rifle retain about 95% arsenal blue with scattered handling wear and areas of light oxidation. The barrel retains a mostly gunmetal gray patina with some arsenal blue showing through, the front and rear barrel bands show perhaps 50% black finish. The bolt is numbered “2999ae” and exhibits light operational wear with the extractor toned to plum, with the magazine and lower triggerguard mostly gray displaying an even thin arsenal blue with hints of oxidation and handling marks. The manufacturer markings remain intact and strong with some of the stampings exhibiting proper “(eagle) / WaA140” Waffenamts, a crisp “bcd” Gustloff Werke marking, an “FN16/45 1941” barrel shank marking, and the buttplate “brg” subcontractor-marked. The laminated hardwood stock and handguard remain in about very good plus condition with a few mild abrasions and light dings from the years. The stock is stamp-numbered matching the action underneath both the upper handguard and forend, the toeline is marked “c” above faint Waffenamt and there appears to be no other visible proof marks. All screws are present, all parts are appropriately marked with 140 waffenamt and the rifle includes a correct, period cleaning rod. This rifle would make a fine addition to anyone’s German martial collection. (28A11591-76) {C&R} (700/900)
