Description
Fine German Double Ejector Rifle by Eckerbrecht and Scherping
Lot # 51 (Sale Order: 51 of 752)
serial #4002, 8X57 JR, 24 3/4'' Krupp Laufstahl barrels with bright very fine to perhaps near excellent bores, the right barrel showing some very sparsely scattered very light pitting, the rifling remaining clean and sharp. The barrels retain perhaps 95% original rust blue, the loss is due to even fading with some slight toning to plum, a bit of light muzzle wear and the very finest pinprick pitting on the left barrel just above the forearm area, hardly worth the mention and missed at first glance. The tops of each barrel are marked ''Heinrich Scherping Hanover'' and ''Jnh Heinrich Eckerbrecht Hofbuchsenmacher'' with light bands of engraving at the sideclipped breeches and on the Greener extension. The scalloped boxlock frame is a very nice tarnished pewter patina with some smoky case colors behind the fences and ahead of the triggerguard, showing near overall tight scroll and nice geometric beading along the bolsters beneath the sideclipped and arcaded fences. The belly of the frame is marked identically to the tops of the barrels and there are nice pin-style cocking indicators left and right. The top lever retains very good original blue with fading case-hardening on the bow of the triggerguard, a very nice long tang extension to its rear of gray-green horn which remains uncracked and unchipped. The checkered scant Prince-of-Wales grip, English walnut buttstock rates about excellent with a rounded shadowline cheekpiece and a nice chinstrap to the rear of the grip, showing some lovely grain figure and the expected light handling marks that come from the years. The length of pull to the checkered butt is 14 1/2'' with the drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 5/8''. The splinter style forend rates very fine and is near fully checkered with a small horn tip insert which shows a small ding and there is a tiny barely noticeable repaired crack at the rear of forend at iron. The rifle is sighted with a simple silver bead front sight, single standing rear and has a Rudiger 4X telescopic sight fitted to quick-detach dual claw bases. The scope rates very good with fading trace original blue and is primarily a gray-pewter patina and has a very nice thick post-and crosshair space dot reticle with bright excellent optics. It is marked ''4x81'' and appears to be variable from about 2 1/2X-4X. The arm features double triggers, the front a single set, and Greener style safety. Lockup is tight on face with dual under bites and Greener crossbolt and seems to function well mechanically. A handsome and very usable German double ejector rifle proofed in July 1930, in an excellent North American caliber weighing in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. with scope. (3D10161-2) {C&R} (6000/8000)
