Martini action has a hexagonal ring around front and flat sides. It’s inlaid in silver on right side “RUD. ELMER” & “ST. GALLEN” on left side. Mounted with very nicely figured French walnut with a long, semi-Schnabel, checkered forearm secured with a sgl wedge through German silver escutcheons and a straight grip, slight perch belly stock with checkered wrist and deep cheekpiece with semi-Schutzen buttplate.

Bottom of bbl and tip of bottom tang have sling swivels containing a modern braided leather sling. PROVENANCE: Glenn Marsh Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Near new, retains about 98% orig plum/brown finish on bbl and about all of its lightly faded, very strong case colors on receiver. Lever & buttplate retain strong case colors but somewhat more faded.
