CASED ANSCHUTZ HALF-STOCK SCHUTZEN TARGET RIFLE.

CASED ANSCHUTZ HALF-STOCK SCHUTZEN TARGET RIFLE. This Schutzen target rifle was made by Edward Anschutz, a legendary name in quality Philadelphia target rifles. In the late 19th century Philadelphia was noted for its Schutzen target clubs. This quality half-stock rifle is cased with all the accessories necessary for the serious target shooter. The 33-1/2″ full oct 38 Cal bbl rifle is signed “E. ANSCHUTZ PHILADELPHIA” and includes tang sight, false muzzle, bullet starter, and wooden detachable hand rest. The high-quality engraved lock is signed “E. ANSCHUTZ PHILADELPHIA”. The tang is nicely engraved as well. The trigger guard and butt plate are of the typical Schutzen style. The trigger assembly is of the European style with a fixed post forward shield protecting a thin wire trigger which can be set using the rear “set trigger”, the wire is actually the trigger that fires the gun while the finger rests against the post. The walnut stock is checkered at the wrist. This case was custom made by the gun’s owner with a glass see-through lid. The case obviously was not sold with the gun. The case therefore adds little value to the gun except for its decorative value. PROVENANCE: R. Gabel Collection. CONDITION: The gun is in nice orig condition throughout with no repairs or replacements evident. The case, as noted above, is not orig to the gun and was probably custom made by the shooter. 4-31732 RGG41 (3,500-6,500)
