JP Sauer & Sohn Mauser 9x57
Description: Excellent prewar JP Sauer Mauser in original untouched condition. There have not been any modifications made to this firearms which is getting tough to find in these Sauers. This rifle is completely as built by Sauer with their serial number on the right receiver, along with Oberndorfs serial for the supplied action, which will be numbered on the bottom of the receiver, the bolt, bottom metal and ejector box. The bluing is excellent with the only notable loss to the forward bottom metal from carrying. The case colors on the bolt are largely faded and are now faint which is really typical as this is the first finish to go on these. The bolt is an early transitional piece with small gas vents etc. John Speed offered commentary on this rifle in regard to the use of these parts on actions supplied by Oberndorf to other makers. These early components were used in commercial action sales later on, in this case, the action being roughly 1910 production. Left over military contract parts are also seen, the extractor collar for instance on this example is one such part. The stock is in very good condition with minor dings and compressions here and there. It exhibits excellent grain structure throughout the wrist and buttstock and looks very strong, there are zero cracks which is very hard to find as well. The horn buttplate has some typical worm damage, of which it seems to be nearly impossible to find one without. The solid Krupp barrel with integral forged rib is in excellent shape and appears to have seen little use. While it appears to have been apart at some point in the past, I have not taken it apart at all the entire time it has been in my collection, and it appears to have been a very long time since it has been. There is also a sequential serial rifle to this in the US that was sold some years back that I've recorded in my serial study.
