Manufactured at Oberndorf for World War I. Rifle remains in classic configuration with blued barrel, blade front sight, rollercoaster rear sight, and finger groove walnut stocks. Forend is duffel cut, likely indicating this rifle was a WWI trophy. Matching numbers observed throughout excluding the safety, which is possibly a factory error. CONDITION: Good. Barrel retains significant portions of fading arsenal blue. Receiver and bolt are developing a mottled gray patina. Stocks have expected scuffs and dings, especially concentrated along the toe line. Strong frosted bore. Fine mechanics.
