Description:Manufactured with a "bolo" sized barrel and grip frame and fine gutta percha grips. Blade front and 1000 meter tangent rear sights, with the Mauser address, "crown/crown/U" and "antler" markings on the chamber, "NS" hammer, two-line address on the right side of the frame, and "VON LENGERKE/& DETMOLD/NEW-YORK" on the left. Matching numbers are present on multiple components, including the interior of the aforementioned gutta percha grips. Included with the lot is a scarce bolo-sized shoulder stock, with matching serial number on the mounting iron.
Rating Definition:Fine, with 60% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, bright edge wear, mild spotting and light handling marks. The grips are also fine, with a few light scratches and good detail. The stock is very good as refinished/repaired, with mended breaks in the lid, mild scratches, and light sanding. Mechanically needs work, functions intermittently.
