Description: Griffin & Howe 7x57 Mauser. Rifle number 2284 is very special, a light sporter with spectacular engraving logically attributed to Joseph Fugger. The 21-inch barrel wears a banded front ramp and the commercial Mauser action has a jeweled bolt body, rail and follower. Additional features include a Lyman aperture sight, checkered bolt knob and two-position side safety. The stock begins with an ebony forend tip and is dressed with wonderful wrap-around 26 lines-per-inch bordered checkering, cross bolt, steel grip cap, scalloped cheek piece with shadow line, blank oval on the toe line and a steel checkered butt plate with widow's peak. ENGRAVING: While unsigned, the superb engraving is logically attributed to Joseph Fugger. Highlights include a gold elk bust on the floorplate and gold antelope bust on the guard, both in flawless relief. Each bust is surrounded by intricate, delicate scroll, the pattern also appearing on the front ramp, barrel shank, bolt handle and screws. DIMENSIONS: Weight is 7.2 pounds and length-of-pull is 13.9 inches. CONDITION: The bore is pristine. The polished rust blue stands at approximately 97 percent, with only minor indications of being afield that include slight spots of tarnish and a bit of thinning on the bolt knob. The heavily-figured stock is also approximately 97 percent, with a modest scattering of minor field impressions. The bolt release button operates properly, although with a bit of resistance. HISTORY: As with many Griffin & Howe rifles, records are incomplete and do not reference the completion date, engraver or the original customer. Thus no history letter is included. The price is firm and layaway is available. Photos by request (include direct email address).
