*FOXY STIEGELE MARTINI SCHUETZEN RIFLE BY FAHNER.

SN 2642. Cal. 8.15x47R. Marked on bbl “Wilh. Fahner Suhl” who is believed to have been a supplier to Stiegele. This is fairly late Stiegele and the design is a bit more subdued than some of the earlier examples made during the Golden Age. The action is completely engraved with a life-like fox on the left side and a dog flushing a bird on the right. The majority of the bright orig case color remains on the action, which is most unusual. The engraving style is “Alt Suhl”, (old Suhl). The bbl is 30″ long, fluted and top flat is fully matted. It has “Whil. Fahner” and “Suhl” inlaid in gold. The buttstock’s carving is of an unusual and pleasing style. On the left side is a dead chamois that is about to be eaten by two vultures. On the right side is almost total coverage showing two hunters on a mountain watching 3 deer, one of which they just shot. This is a nearly new rifle of exhibition quality. This rifle was proofed August 1912. PROVENANCE: “Alte Scheibenwaffen” Vol. 2 pgs 214-215; “Classic German Target Arms” pgs. 60-63; The Allen Hallock Schuetzen Collection. CONDITION: There are a couple of minor cracks in the stock probably caused by stresses in the ornate wood used. They have been there a long time. The forearm shows a very small chip and attempted repair on the right side by the action as well as a small repair and replaced piece of wood where the orig wood split away. It is hard to detect. Bore appears excellent. 50900-15 TWR (7,000-10,000) C&R – Lot 3155

Auction: Firearms - April 2017

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
