serial #5246, 8.15x46mmR, 31 3/4'' octagon barrel with a bright very fine bore showing a couple small areas of shallow fine pinprick pitting and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The barrel of this June 1926 proof-dated rifle retains about 90% original blue with most of the loss due to some old oxidation and pinprick pitting along some of the high edges. The barrel flats show retailer markings inlaid in silver ''A. FREIBERGER / AUGSBURG'' and the barrel groove has been fitted with a more modern 9 5/8'' long aluminum base onto which a pair of target blocks are mounted. The action retains nearly 90% vibrant case-hardened colors showing a few lightly cleaned areas of mild oxidation staining mostly along the right side and along the outside of the lever, along with some other mild oxidation speckles and the lever with some pinprick pits. The lever release retains good fire blue and the breechblock and small action parts remain mostly bright with a little oxidation staining. The top of the action shows circled ''BA'' maker's mark and the point of the lever is fitted with rather nice little horn panels embossed with the maker's initials over ''Meister-Buchse''. The checkered walnut buttstock and schnabel forend remain in very good plus condition retaining strong original varnish and showing some scattered light dings, handling marks, and a few thin slivers and flakes against the buttplate. The stock features a stippled right-side thumb rest which shows a small chip at its rear edge, tall generous cheekpiece with pointed comb, and the expected heavy schuetzen buttplate with shows some remnants of smoky case-hardened colors. The rear sling swivel stud is vacant while the front retains its swivel, there is a vacant tang sight base and the protected ramp front sight retains strong fire blue and is equipped with a fine bead-on-post insert. The action with double set triggers seems to function well mechanically. An attractive German schuetzen rifle. (13B11287-28) {C&R} [John D. Hamilton Collection] (1000/1500)
