TBQ VG-1 8mm caliber rifle. Rare and very fine Volkssturm VG-1 bolt action rifle. 18 ½” barrel with a bright excellent bore and counter bored muzzle. The metal surfaces on this rather nice example retain about 97% original blue, the loss is due to even fading and light high edge wear with the rudimentary bolt handle toning to plum, the bottom metal as well a plum brown; there is a bit of light oxidation present on the barrel in the area of the barrel channel. The left side of the receiver features model and serial number markings along with makers code of ”tbq” thought to be Rheinmetall-Borsig at Unterl.
