$1325 or best offer shipped. 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). Today, Danzig sporters are very difficult to find on the collector market, as very few were manufactured originally, and even less survived to these days. This rifle has a stepped, round barrel. Double set trigger is very crisp in single stage, and breaks with minimal effort with double stage set making for a very easy trigger break. Military style stripper clip guides are machined into the back of the receiver. Internal box Mauser-style magazine. Walnut, sporting style half-stock with cheek-piece and semi- pistol grip, schnable forend. Beautiful diamond checkering at the wrist of the buttstock. Mauser style safety lever is located on the back of the bolt. The four digit serial number indicates a limited production. All matching serial numbers (the matching serial numbers are stamped on the receiver, barrel, bolt; all the remaining parts of the rifle do not display any numbers). Rifle is wearing a rear Lyman adjustable peep sight. Bore condition is bright with sharp rifling and lots of shine. 7.92 x 57 mm chambering. Magazine plate looks like someone put some dents in it attempting to get it open. Fixed, European sporting style front sights. Rear leaf sight is missing flip up secondary sight. To my knowledge an unserialized part so wouldnt effect matching status to replace. Triggers and bottom metal screws all display deep fire blue. $1325 shipped and insured with signature on delivery. Payments accepted are EMT, Money Order, and Bank Deposit. This is likely the lowest price youre going to see on a Danzig Mauser. I am open to offers on this. Feel free to make your offer, I dont get insulted on here, and the worst I can say is no. Although monetary payment is preferred and will take precedence as I need the cash over trades, willing to take trades + $$$$ if that helps you get into this and chips down some of the cash for you, could even look at full trades of quality items or multiple quality items. Interested in anything Restricted, Non-Restricted, Antique, tac gear, optics, blades, gold or silver, factory ammo, basically my interests are all over the place so run it past me and well see what we can come up with. Non-restricted, needs a valid PAL.
