*◊ STEYR REPETIER-KARABINERSTUTZEN M1895 (REPEATING STUTZEN CARBINE), WITH 3X C.P. GOERZ OF BERLIN TELESCOPIC SIGHT, (MISSING BARREL).

SN 13956. Cal. 8mm Austro-Hungarian. The SNs normally found on the buttstock & handguard have been removed, and there is no unit marking on the tang of the buttplate. The carbine is complete in every way, except for its missing bbl & sights. Rifle is fitted with a 3X C.P. Goerz telescopic sight. The (original) attaching mechanism for the sight is a single claw forward and a lever attachment in the back, as used for Austrian M95 sniping rifles, but a rare attachment for an M95 carbine. Scope is marked “CP Goerz Berlin” / 3FACH / GEWEHR Nr 9710″, which does not match the rifle. The forward scope base is marked “13956 / S”. There are no other markings on the rifle. Because the rifle lacks a bbl, there are no Austrian Government inspection marks or acceptance dates. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Finish on metal parts is 65% with wear & significant loss of finish on swing swivel, bolt handle and buttplate. The walnut stock is in excellent refinished condition with minor scratches & dents consistent with field service. Bolt does not presently function. Scope optics are clear in excellent condition. Scope mechanics are excellent. 4-53175 JJW8 (2,000-5,000) – Lot 1371
