*ENGELBERT CLEVER HAMMER UNDER-LEVER SINGLE SHOT STALKING RIFLE WITH ZEISS SCOPE. SN NSN. Cal. 8 x 57 JR. 28″ Tapered round bbl with integral full-length matted rib, is fitted with one standing U-notch rear sight, and silver bead front, as well as claw bases, dovetailed through rib. “Engelb. Clever Nacht. Coln” is engraved on milled out portion of rib. Bbl flats and bbl are stamped with pre-WWI German proofs and “318” (bore diameter). Single shot under-lever action with forward pivoting lever has forend attached to action, with a smaller lever to remove bbl. Peninsula back action lock has short round bodied serpentine hammer with tall checkered spur. Action is fitted with double set triggers. Action and lockplate are engraved with well cut medium scroll outlining vignettes of stags, hinds, and roebuck. “F. Denk in Wien” is engraved on bottom of lockplate. Lightly mottled European walnut full pistol grip buttstock measures 13-1/4″ over checkered horn buttplate, and features horn grip cap, 26 LPI point pattern checkering with line border. Vacant silver oval is on left cheek of stock with large case hardened cartridge trap and sling swivel on toe line. Another small medallion is inlaid on right side of buttstock. Rifle is stocked to muzzle with separate 18-1/2″ walnut piece with Schnabel horn tip. Drop at heel: approx 2-3/4″, drop at comb: approx 1-5/8″. Weight without scope: 6 lbs. 3 oz, LOP 13-1/4″. Karl Zeiss “Zielklein” scope with fine crosshair reticle is in claw rings. CONDITION: Excellent, as competently refinished. Bbl retains 95% of lustrous re-black. Other metal parts retain nearly all of nicely colored re-hardening, all engraving slightly softened. Stocks retain most of an old oil finish, edges slightly rounded, and a number of repaired shakes around butt. Cartridge trap and fore piece appear to be later well done replacements, as engraving on trap and wood of fore piece do not match remainder of rifle. Bore is excellent. Action is tight. Lock is crisp. Set triggers work. Scope retains perhaps 70% of its orig blue. Optics are clear. 4-42034 MGM109 (3,000-5,000)
