Description:
WONDERFUL STIEGELE MARTINI.
Cal. 8.15x46R. Carl Stiegele exhibiiton Schutzen rifle with deep relieve stock carvings. The barrel is 29-1/4″ long and fluted with a design that is a round bbl with external ribs. “Carl Stiegele Jun Munchen” is inlaid in gold on the breech end of the bbl. This bbl has been relined as is so common with bbls that have been updated to a new smaller cal. This was commonly done as totally replacing a bbl was a very expensive proposition. Stiegele’s name is surrounded by scrolls inlaid in gold. Stamped on the right side of the bbl is the letter “V” which indicates the rifle was made before the proof laws of 1891. The rear sight is included with the rifle and is adjustable for elevation. The rear sight post is calibrated for distance. Both the buttstock and forearm are extensively carved in flowers, vines and leaves by a craftsman of great skill. This magnificant schutzen rifle can be seen in Classic German Target Arms pgs. 52-54 and is formerly from the esteemed schutzen collection of Allen Hallock. Barrel blue shows very little wear with excellent bore. The action shows considerable case color. Wood is excellent with very minor handling marks. This rifle remains in unusually fine condition.
