This pre-WWII masterpiece combines exquisite craftsmanship, premium features, and outstanding condition, making it a must-have for serious collectors and Mauser enthusiasts. Key Features: Caliber: 8x60S, a rare and desirable hunting cartridge from the interwar period, perfect for large game. Serial Number: 100158, with all matching numbers for maximum collectible value. Stock: Elegant Mannlicher-style full stock (Type S), hand-fitted with stock number 1189, offering timeless style and balance. Barrel: 20-inch round barrel with express sights, ideal for quick handling and big-game hunting. Premium Features: Spoon bolt for smooth operation and distinctive aesthetics. Double set triggers for a crisp, precise shot—rare on sporters. Lever release floor plate for practical magazine unloading. Claw mount bases for optional scope use, a hallmark of high-end European rifles. Condition: 95% original rust blue finish, showcasing Mauser’s legendary quality. Excellent bore ensures top accuracy and functionality. Originality: All original except for a tastefully added recoil pad for shooter comfort—a minor, reversible modification. Provenance: Built by Waffenfabrik Mauser in Oberndorf, this Type S sporter reflects the pinnacle of pre-war German gunsmithing, likely crafted for a discerning hunter. Why This Rifle Stands Out: Rarity: The combination of the 8x60S caliber, Type S Mannlicher stock, and premium features like double set triggers and claw mounts makes this rifle a one-of-a-kind find. Few Mauser sporters survive in this condition with matching numbers. Collectibility: Mauser Oberndorf sporters are highly sought after by collectors of fine firearms, especially in uncommon calibers like 8x60S, developed post-WWI to bypass Versailles Treaty restrictions. Investment Potential: With its near-pristine condition and historical significance, this rifle is a sound investment for collectors or shooters passionate about classic European hunting rifles. Price: $2099.00 This is an outstanding value for a rifle of this rarity and quality. Comparable Mauser Type S sporters often command $2,500–$3,500 in today’s market, especially with matching numbers and premium features. Don’t miss this chance to own a true Mauser masterpiece at a collector-friendly price   Price: $2,095.00 Rifle Caliber: 8x60mm S
