- Lot Description
8mm, 24" octagonal barrel with matted rib, S/N 3289. Blued and case hardened finish, walnut stock with checkered pistol grip, raised cheek rest, grooved hard rubber buttplate and a smooth Schnabel forend. Barrel with Grundig maker mark and Dresden location. Receiver case hardened and engraved in tight foliate scrolls, checkered, flat bolt handle, engraved magazine floor plate. Claw style scope mounts also engraved, two-leaf barrel sight, ramp front sight with blade. German silver escutcheon in toe with crown over the initials "U.S." Sling swivels, leather sling. An outstanding and high quality stalking rifle made by Carl Grundig who operated between WWI and WWII, with this likely being a souvenir "bring back" from the latter conflict. Caliber is 8mm, but cartridge is undetermined, probably some form of large rimmed Grundig "wildcat". 8x57 is too small for the chamber and will not stay on the extractor. A chamber casting would be needed to get this rifle back out in the field.
**Requires C&R or FFLFine. Retains most of the blue and substantial vivid case hardening with some dulling and fading. Mechanically functional, fine bore, nice wood with minor handling marks.Condition
