Oberndorf a m Neckar." on the rib of the barrel, The original blue remains at 88-90%, The original stock finish at 88-90%, The checkering is at 97%, The bore looks like it did 101 years ago when it left the banks of the Neckar River. This very piece is in excellent original condition. This is one neat Pre-WWI Type B with a 1/2 round & octagon barrel, double set triggers and a neat Lyman #35 peep sight. This piece most likely was exported from Mauser and a good chance it went to H. Tauscher on 320 Broadway in New York City. This gun is #53837, #53842 was a 30-06 as well that was imported by Tauscher. This piece has lived a good life for 102 years. ////////////////////////// This rifle was made when Paul von Mauser was still alive; he passed away May 29, 1913 and left an everlasting legacy with the Gewehr 98 system bolt action magazine rifle. No one has beaten him since and most likely no one ever will.
