Description:
#10183, Joh. Springer, Erben, Gewehrfabrikanten, Wien: A 375 Flanged Magnum Johann Springer Classic Boxlock Double Rifle with 2 sets of barrels, It started life as a 10.75 Rimmed, Made in 1923 for Prince Lubomirski, a Polish Aristocrat; Then in 1961 a very high quality set of Austrian Chopper Lump 375 Flanged Magnum barrels were added and nitro proved in Austria; The 10.75 barrels are 24" extractor Chopper Lump Krupp steel barrels with bores as new, 1 standing & 1 folding rear sights; The 375 Flanged barrels are 24 3/8" extractor Chopper Lump Bohler Antinit steel barrels with bores as new, 4 each folding rear sights, Both barrels with a rib extension and hidden third bite, The action body has a scalloped frame, Sideplates, Bushed strikers, Intercepting safety sears, Double triggers with both being a set trigger, Steel trigger guard tang to the grip cap, Sling eyes on both barrels, Nice piece of wood with a European shadowline cheekpiece, Horn grip cap, Anson forend release, 14 7/8" lop over a 7/8" Silvers pad, 7 lbs. 14 oz. with the 375 Flanged barrels and 7 lbs. 8 oz. with the 10.75 barrels, 90% coverage of floral & scroll engraving, 90% original & vivid case colors remain, 98% original blue on both barrels, The wood remains at 94%, The checkering at 98%, The bores are literally brand new, It is cased in a very nice oak & leather trunk with a trade label and I feel it is the original trunk. The case only fits one set of barrels. There are a lot of 10.75 cartridges and we are uncertain which one it is but we can absolutely make cases and load ammo for it, however as it stands it is a great 375 Flanged Magnum. This is flat out one nice double rifle that remains in excellent condition by a world renowned maker that was built in the Golden Era of modern sporting firearms. ///////////////////////////////////////// Prince Zdzis?aw Lubomirski was a Polish aristocrat, landowner, lawyer, a conservative politician and social activist. The Prince was the Mayor of Warsaw in 1916 and 1917. Lubomirski decided to stay in occupied Poland during World War II and on November 10, 1942 he was arrested by the Gestapo, and spent two months in prison. During the war and after its end, the Lubomirski family was often harassed and kept under surveillance by the Gestapo. During his imprisonment he was tortured by the Gestapo, his health deteriorated and he never fully recovered from his wounds sustained in prison. He died July 31, 1943. To this day, the family charitable tradition is continued by its members forming The Princes Lubomirski Foundation. The organization supports the development of Polish art, science; it also develops medical and educational projects. The scope of activity of the organization is very wide, from supporting ecological construction to endowing scholarships for students, purchasing computer hardware and medical equipment to the rebuilding of especially prized monuments.
