serial #140, 8.15x46R, 29 1/2'' Krupp Stahl octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel retains about 60% original blue toning to medium gray-brown patina and showing scattered thin cleaning striations and remnants of old oxidation staining. The top flat is grooved and the shank shows a rather nice geometric border. The action retains about 90% nice vibrant original case-hardened colors toning to gray along the lever and showing some light pitting along the right side high edges of the action. The arm is embellished with some wide Germanic foliate motifs and nice detailed scenes of stag right and roe deer left. The checkered walnut stock and schnabel forend remain in about very fine condition showing some overall light dings and handling marks to be expected. The checkering remains mostly strong and the stock features stippled right-side thumb rest and medium-sized ramshorn cheekpiece. The rifle is sighted with a slightly loose adjustable tang sight with medium aperture disc and protected small blade on ramp front. The action with double set triggers seems to function well mechanically. This rifle is pictured and described on page 321 of ''Alte Scheibewaffen Vol. 2'' by Rowe, et al. (13C11108-18) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1800/2200)
