Lot # 205 (Sale Order: 205 of 601)
serial #13455f, 8mm Mauser, 24" barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing two very small areas of moderate oxidation about 3" back from the muzzle with otherwise crisp rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this attractive rifle retain about 96% original blue showing some mild toning to gray-brown patina along the floorplate, a few light dings along the front band and a few errant mild brown freckles scattered about. The extractor has taken on the familiar deep plum tone and the smooth cupped buttplate is a silvery pewter patina showing some remnants of old oxidation staining scattered about. The bek-coded 4X Dialytan scope and its rings retain about 95% original blue showing some toning to gray-brown patina along the ocular bell, a few specks of light oxidation staining and minor handling marks. The scope itself is numbered "76846" and features the typical German reticle with very good plus slightly discolored optics. The smooth pistolgrip laminated hardwood stock and handguard remain in very fine condition showing a very thin 2" scratch along the right side wrist, some scattered light dings and handling marks. The stock retains a strong "(Eagle) / WaA135" on the right side butt, a more faded Waffenamt along the toe line and what appears to be a name written in ink inside the right sling cutout, unfortunately no longer legible. The stock and handguard are both numbered internally matching the receiver. All markings remain intact and strong with the left side receiver ring stamped with firing proof, serial number and "(Eagle) / 135", the left side barrel shank is stamped only with a firing proof and the right side rear sight base with "(Eagle) / 135". The floorplate and barrel bands are stamped with matching serial number, the stamped triggerguard with byf code and proper Waffenamts and the buttplate with bpr code and "(Eagle) / WaA497". The firing pin appears to be un-numbered and the remaining bolt parts including the correct milled safety are matching the receiver. The front surface of the front scope base is marked with a Mauser "RW" factory stamp, the rear base with proper "(Eagle) / 135" on the left side, the right rear edge of the tang stamped with a "U" and the front scope ring is matching the receiver. An original front sight hood and cleaning rod are included and the action seems to function well mechanically. A lovely correct and matching high turret sniper for the advanced sniper or martial collection. (13G9807-205) {C&R} [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (10,000/15,000)

Lot # 208 (Sale Order: 208 of 601)
serial #AT3187, 7.62 NATO, 27 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this rifle retain about 95% heavy arsenal-reapplied black enamel finish showing some light high edge wear, scattered small flakes and crazing along the barrel. The screw heads show the typical light slot wear seen on British arms and all markings remain intact and strong. The arm was arsenal converted from a BSA No. 4 MKI(T) sniper rifle and shows original markings, 1943 date and "TR" on the left socket. The left side of the receiver is properly marked "L42A1" along with Enfield arsenal stamp, "71" date and "T". The smooth hardwood stocks remain in very good plus to very fine condition showing a few small arsenal repairs, a very thin hairline crack at the bottom left edge of the fore-stock ahead of the socket, some scattered light dings and minor handling marks. There is a painted white "1" on the left side butt, the fore-stock is faintly numbered matching to the receiver while the wrist is properly stamped with the scope number "19313", the numbers rather soft. The original arsenal-converted L1A1 scope and mount retain about 95% heavy arsenal-reapplied black enamel finish showing some high edge wear, scattered light flaking and handling marks with otherwise strong markings. All markings remain strong and the scope mount is stamped matching the rifle along with a painted "1" and a Canadian broad arrow stamp with "57". The scope features single post with crosshair reticle and very good optics that are slightly discolored but completely serviceable. The bolt and magazine are also matching the receiver and the action seems to function well mechanically. The included wooden case rates very fine retaining much of its olive drab patina showing some light flaking and exterior scuffs. The interior labels are intact and show matching numbers to the rifle and scope and the included metal scope cover is also stencil-numbered to the scope and rates near excellent retaining much of its original paint showing some minor scuffs; a pair of leather scope covers are also present and rate very good showing light staining. A very fine example of these desirable post-war British sniper rifles. (13C9807-240) {C&R} [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (4000/6000)

German K98K Claw Mount Sniper Rifle by Steyr
Lot # 210 (Sale Order: 210 of 601)
serial #1175d, 8mm Mauser, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this rifle retain about 92% original blue showing some sparsely scattered specks of mild oxidation staining, mild thinning along the bottom metal and scattered light handling marks. The extractor has taken on the familiar dark plum patina showing some areas of old oxidation staining and the checkered buttplate is a silvery pewter patina. The bmj-coded 4X Dialytan scope and its rings retain perhaps 60% original blue toning overall to a mild plum-brown patina and showing scattered areas of light oxidation staining and fine pinprick pitting. The alloy adjustment hardware retains 90% black enamel finish and the markings remain strong. The scope itself is numbered "75612" and features the typical German reticle and very fine optics that show the slightest hint of discoloration and a few tiny occlusions. The smooth pistolgrip laminated hardwood stock and handguard remain in very good plus condition showing a thin sliver missing at the toe along with a thin drying crack and 2 1/2" crack with sliver forming also around the toe. The stock otherwise shows just some scattered light dings and handling marks and retains a strong "(Eagle) / H" stamp along the right butt and no visible Waffenamts. The stock and handguard are both numbered internally matching the barrel. All other markings remain intact and strong, many of the smaller parts bearing "(Eagle) / 77" Waffenamts, the barrel with "(Eagle) / WaA140" and the floorplate and triggerguard with "(Eagle) / 135". The floorplate, barrel bands, rear sight parts and bolt parts are all matching the barrel. The scope bases are also matching although the rings are mismatched but numbered rather close "d / 2818" and the scope locks in securely. An original front sight hood and cleaning rod are present and the action seems to function well mechanically. While the scope is mismatched this is still a very attractive and desirable example of these distinctive Steyr-made sniper rifles. (13G9807-96) {C&R} [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (7000/9000)

Lot # 211 (Sale Order: 211 of 601)
serial #W216097, 303 British, 26" '17-dated barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this handsome rifle retain about 95-96% original blue showing some mild high edge wear, thinning along the bolt knob and some scattered light handling marks. The bolt body remains mostly bright showing some mild gray freckling and all markings remain intact and strong with the serial number properly stamped along the right side rear receiver (sans the "W" prefix). The scope is a correct 1918 model by Periscopic Prism Co. Ltd. and is matching the rifle. The scope body and objective bell appear to have been arsenal-refinished, retaining about 95% rust blue showing some scattered brown freckling, and some light pitting throughout the objective bell that is blued-over. A small broad arrow has been engraved atop the objective bell post-finishing and the brass fittings retain about 95% black enamel finish showing overall light flakes toning to ocher brass. The smooth walnut stock and handguards remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings, handling marks and a small 3/4" repaired chip at the toe that shows some cracks reforming.

The stock disc is unmarked and the front volley sight hardware is still intact. All visibly marked parts appear to be of correct Winchester manufacture, strangely the correct fine-adjustment rear sight is numbered "45475", the number having been crossed-out, and the bolt is matching the receiver. The scope features a large single post with fine crosshair and the optics remain very good and serviceable showing some scattered light flakes and very mild discoloration. There are no visible import marks and the action seems to function well mechanically. Included is an original black leather sling and leather-trimmed canvas scope case. The sling is by Sheldon & Sons Ltd. dated 1914 and rates very good plus showing some mild crackling and staining. The canvas-covered scope case with leather fittings does not appear to be maker-marked but is stencil-numbered to the gun and remains in very good condition showing some overall mild staining, some scuffs and minor crackling along the leather straps and moderate verdigris along the studs. A lovely First World War sniper for the advanced martial collection, only Winchester was contracted to produce P.14 snipers for the British military.
