Description:
WORLD WAR I Era Antique DANZIG ARSENAL 8mm GEWEHR 88 German MILITARY Rifle
Model 1888 COMMISSION RIFLE
Here we present an antique Imperial German Danzig Arsenal Gewehr 88, also referred to as the Model 88 Commission Rifle, made in 1891 in Danzig. The Gewehr 88 was a late 19th-century German bolt action rifle, adopted in 1888. Production ran between 1888 and 1899.
The invention of smokeless powder in the late 19th century immediately rendered all of the large-bore black powder rifles then in use obsolete. To keep pace with the French, who had adopted smokeless powder “small bore” ammunition for their Lebel Model 1886 rifle, the Germans adopted the Gewehr 88. These were used through the end of the 19th Century and in the World Wars, many being sold to Turkey.
The overall condition is good. Armory refurbished. The barrel and receiver numbers match, otherwise mixed. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The stock is solid with nice grain.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 29 inches.
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
