I picked this one up to day....There were made from Kar.98AZ military rifles.
I got the metal up to snuff and it has a nice bore but I'll refinish the stock by and by....Hopefully doing something with the rubber "sissy pad" someone stuck on it.
It has double set triggers.
The sling was sort of interesting as the hardware is from a WW-1 German canteen.
Manufactured by Gewehrfabrik Danzig shortly after the end of the Great War, as indicated by markings on the receiver rail and by the proof markings on the receiver ring. Sporting rifles of this pattern were manufactured in very limited numbers by the Danzig factory in 1918/1919.
The lack of the military orders forced the Danzig factory to manufacture guns for the civilian market.
Shortly after, the Danzig arsenal ceased to exist. Based on the Versailles Treaty all the machines were moved to Warsaw, Poland in 1920, in order to create the rifle factory there.
The Danzig sporters utilized strong Kar.98AZ action with small ring receivers. Since Danzig sporters were arsenal made, they bear no commercial proofs, but Imperial German stamp, "Prussian Eagle" (stamped on the left side of the receiver ring, on the barrel under the wood, as well as on the bolt).
