German Flobert Single Shot Rifle 22 short

Description:
22 Short RF, 25 3/4” octagon barrel with a bright very fine to perhaps near excellent bore showing a few speckles of oxidation scattered about and otherwise crisp rifling. This is a rather nice Flobert system rifle, the barrel retaining about 92% original blue showing some mild high edge wear and scattered oxidation staining, and the breech flat is inlaid in silver with “HUGO OTTO”, likely the retailer. The breechblock and tang retain about 90% nice vibrant case-hardened colors showing a little old oxidation staining and show crisp embellishments consisting of some light foliate motifs. The triggerguard is mostly gray-brown while the buttplate shows good smoky remnants of case-hardening. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock with schnabel tip and Germanic squared-off left-side cheekpiece remains in about very good plus condition showing some scattered light dings and old abrasions, the right edge along the forend with a slightly flexing 1” crack. The wood otherwise exhibits some attractive grain figure throughout. The rifle is equipped with a vacant square base for a tang sight and is sighted with a fine flip-up u-notch rear sight and protected bead-on-post front. The action with double set triggers seems to function well mechanically. This is an attractive rifle, quite a bit nicer than the more usually seen Belgian Flobert guns.
