8.15x46R, 30 3/4'' octagon barrel with a bright very fine bore showing some scattered small areas of light oxidation and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. The barrel retains about 85% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light with areas toning to mild gray-brown patina under bright light and some scattered old oxidation. The top flat is neatly matted and grooved for sights, also showing ''SYSTEM ALBRECHT'' in silver. The action retains perhaps 80% nice original case-hardened colors that remain mostly vibrant with areas toning to gray-brown and showing some scattered mild oxidation speckling. The action is extensively embellished with wide flowing Germanic foliate motifs and punch-dot shading with subtle burnishing accents, the left with renaissance rifleman and the right with a target scorer holding target. The smooth walnut forend remains in fair condition showing some moderate chips along the length of the right side and the buttstock remains in about very good plus condition showing overall light dings and handling marks. The checkering remains mostly intact and strong and the stock features medium-sized left-side rams horn cheekpiece and right-side thumb rest. The schuetzen buttplate shows some moderate old oxidation mixing with vibrant wisps of case-hardened colors and the rifle is equipped with sling swivels, double set triggers, fully-adjustable tang sight with wide aperture disc numbered ''15211'' and protected ramp front sight with three selectable posts. The breechblock drops straight down on this system and it also features a takedown mechanism with lever on the underside of the forend that unlatches and lifts up the barrel to be easily removed. This is a nice example of what appears to be a fairly obscure system. (13D11108-62) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (2000/3000)
